Shortlist note
How to play this shortlist
This list has 24 Wordle guesses; 10 are possible answers. The calculator compared 14,786 Wordle guesses against those 10 answers. Possible-answer status helps narrow a puzzle, but does not predict which word Wordle will choose.
Past Wordle answers: SCOFF (July 6, 2024); SCOLD (February 1, 2023); SCONE (August 11, 2024); SCOOP (June 27, 2026); SCOPE (November 28, 2023); SCORE (February 11, 2025); SCORN (September 30, 2022); SCOUR (May 18, 2022); plus 2 more.
DRUPE does not fit this page's clues. SCORE keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 3.2 (5 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.
Tight family:
SCO_E
SCONE, SCOPE, SCORE differ only in the fourth position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; DRUPE tests the family more efficiently.
