Shortlist note
How to play this shortlist
This list has 37 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: STEAD (July 9, 2022); STEAK (July 14, 2026); STEAM (September 23, 2024); STEED (October 22, 2021); STEEL (April 13, 2024); STEEP (February 8, 2025); STEIN (October 17, 2022); STERN (September 4, 2024).
ALDER does not fit this page's clues. STEAR keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 3.4 (4 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.
Trap warning:
STEE_
STEED, STEEL, STEEP, STEER differ only in the fifth position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; ALDER tests the family more efficiently.
