Shortlist note
How to play this shortlist
This list has 8 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: BATCH (December 27, 2025); CUBIT (April 16, 2026).
ABBOT does not fit this page's clues. BATCH 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:
B_TCH
BATCH, BOTCH, BUTCH differ only in the second position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; ABBOT tests the family more efficiently.
