Shortlist note
How to play this shortlist
This list has 24 Wordle guesses; 8 are possible answers. The calculator compared 14,786 Wordle guesses against those 8 answers. Possible-answer status helps narrow a puzzle, but does not predict which word Wordle will choose.
Past Wordle answers: ACORN (August 15, 2024); CROCK (April 30, 2026); FORCE (March 30, 2024); FROCK (January 16, 2023); PORCH (July 25, 2024); SCORE (February 11, 2025); SCORN (September 30, 2022); TORCH (September 25, 2024).
FONTS does not fit this page's clues. FORCE 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.
No obvious one-slot trap. The possible answers do not form a three-word-or-larger family that differs in only one position.
