Shortlist note
How to play this shortlist
This list has 16 Wordle guesses; 6 are possible answers. The calculator compared 14,786 Wordle guesses against those 6 answers. Possible-answer status helps narrow a puzzle, but does not predict which word Wordle will choose.
Past Wordle answers: SWEAT (February 20, 2023); SWEEP (March 15, 2023); SWEET (March 8, 2022); SWELL (November 9, 2024).
ABLET does not fit this page's clues. SWEAT 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.
Tight family:
SWE_T
SWEAT, SWEET, SWEPT differ only in the fourth position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; ABLET tests the family more efficiently.
