Shortlist note
How to play this shortlist
This list has 9 Wordle guesses; 6 are possible answers. The calculator compared 14,786 Wordle guesses against those 6 answers. Possible-answer status helps narrow a puzzle, but does not predict which word Wordle will choose.
Past Wordle answers: GROWL (October 24, 2021); GROWN (May 17, 2025); WRONG (June 12, 2023); WRUNG (January 30, 2022).
AFION does not fit this page's clues. GROWN keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 1.33 (2 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.
Tight family:
WR_NG
WRING, WRONG, WRUNG differ only in the third position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; AFION tests the family more efficiently.
