Shortlist note
How to play this shortlist
This list has 8 Wordle guesses; 5 are possible answers. The calculator compared 14,786 Wordle guesses against those 5 answers. Possible-answer status helps narrow a puzzle, but does not predict which word Wordle will choose.
Past Wordle answers: FLICK (September 3, 2021); FLOCK (July 18, 2022); FROCK (January 16, 2023).
ABOIL does not fit this page's clues. FLACK keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 2.2 (3 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.
Trap warning:
FL_CK
FLACK, FLECK, FLICK, FLOCK differ only in the third position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; ABOIL tests the family more efficiently.
