Shortlist note
How to play this shortlist
This list has 37 Wordle guesses; 15 are possible answers. The calculator compared 14,786 Wordle guesses against those 15 answers. Possible-answer status helps narrow a puzzle, but does not predict which word Wordle will choose.
Past Wordle answers: CAROM (April 10, 2026); CHARM (September 2, 2022); CRAMP (July 31, 2022); CREAM (February 22, 2025); CRIME (June 14, 2023); CRIMP (January 23, 2022); CRUMB (June 8, 2023); MARCH (April 1, 2023); plus 4 more.
PURAO does not fit this page's clues. CREAM keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 1.67 (3 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.
Tight family:
CR_MP
CRAMP, CRIMP, CRUMP differ only in the third position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; PURAO tests the family more efficiently.
