How to play this shortlist
This list has 10 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: CLANG (May 29, 2026); CLING (August 10, 2022); CLUNG (November 15, 2025); LOGIC (April 27, 2023).
AALII does not fit this page's clues. GLACE keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 1.4 (2 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.
Tight family:
CL_NG
CLANG, CLING, CLUNG differ only in the third position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; AALII tests the family more efficiently.
