Shortlist note
How to play this shortlist
This list has 38 Wordle guesses; 8 are possible answers. The calculator compared 14,786 Wordle guesses against those 8 answers. Possible-answer status helps narrow a puzzle, but does not predict which word Wordle will choose.
Past Wordle answers: BEACH (August 21, 2023); BELCH (October 15, 2021); BENCH (July 6, 2021); BICEP (May 12, 2025); BRACE (August 16, 2024); CABLE (January 6, 2024); CYBER (January 5, 2025).
ALBEE does not fit this page's clues. BACNE keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 1.25 (2 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.
Trap warning:
BE_CH
BEACH, BEECH, BELCH, BENCH differ only in the third position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; ALBEE tests the family more efficiently.
