Shortlist note
How to play this shortlist
This list has 38 Wordle guesses; 10 are possible answers. The calculator compared 14,786 Wordle guesses against those 10 answers. Possible-answer status helps narrow a puzzle, but does not predict which word Wordle will choose.
Past Wordle answers: CHUMP (March 29, 2026); CLUMP (April 21, 2026); PLUCK (December 21, 2021).
CHOLA does not fit this page's clues. CHUMP keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 1.2 (2 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.
Tight family:
C_UMP
CHUMP, CLUMP, CRUMP differ only in the second position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; CHOLA tests the family more efficiently.
