How to play this shortlist
This list has 9 Wordle guesses; 4 are possible answers. The calculator compared 14,786 Wordle guesses against those 4 answers. Possible-answer status helps narrow a puzzle, but does not predict which word Wordle will choose.
Past Wordle answers: TWEAK (January 22, 2024); TWEED (October 18, 2021); TWEEN (August 28, 2026); TWEET (April 23, 2026).
ABAND does not fit this page's clues. TWEED keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 1.5 (2 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.
Tight family:
TWEE_
TWEED, TWEEN, TWEET differ only in the fifth position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; ABAND tests the family more efficiently.
