How to play this shortlist
This list has 10 Wordle guesses; 3 are possible answers. The calculator compared 14,786 Wordle guesses against those 3 answers. Possible-answer status helps narrow a puzzle, but does not predict which word Wordle will choose.
Past Wordle answers: LUNAR (December 21, 2022); LUNCH (January 15, 2024); LUNGE (January 5, 2024).
AAHED does not fit this page's clues. LUNAR keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 1.67 (2 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.
No obvious one-slot trap. The possible answers do not form a three-word-or-larger family that differs in only one position.
