Shortlist note
How to play this shortlist
This list has 13 Wordle guesses; 7 are possible answers. The calculator compared 14,786 Wordle guesses against those 7 answers. Possible-answer status helps narrow a puzzle, but does not predict which word Wordle will choose.
Past Wordle answers: BLUNT (September 24, 2025); CLUNG (November 15, 2025); FLUNG (December 9, 2024); FLUNK (August 29, 2024); PLUNK (June 13, 2023); SLUNG (May 12, 2022).
FECKS does not fit this page's clues. FLUNG keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 2.14 (3 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.
Tight family:
_LUNK
FLUNK, PLUNK, SLUNK differ only in the first position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; FECKS tests the family more efficiently.
