Shortlist note
How to play this shortlist
This list has 28 Wordle guesses; 11 are possible answers. The calculator compared 14,786 Wordle guesses against those 11 answers. Possible-answer status helps narrow a puzzle, but does not predict which word Wordle will choose.
Past Wordle answers: BATCH (December 27, 2025); BATHE (July 30, 2023); BERTH (July 10, 2022); BIRTH (March 12, 2023); BOOTH (July 18, 2026); BROTH (April 10, 2024); HABIT (May 31, 2025); THROB (September 12, 2025); plus 1 more.
COATE does not fit this page's clues. BOTEH keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 1.36 (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; COATE tests the family more efficiently.
