Shortlist note
How to play this shortlist
This list has 30 Wordle guesses; 12 are possible answers. The calculator compared 14,786 Wordle guesses against those 12 answers. Possible-answer status helps narrow a puzzle, but does not predict which word Wordle will choose.
Past Wordle answers: BROWN (November 25, 2024); CROWD (June 9, 2024); CROWN (August 27, 2024); DOWRY (October 13, 2021); FROWN (October 25, 2024); GROWL (October 24, 2021); GROWN (May 17, 2025); PROWL (April 30, 2024); plus 2 more.
DANGS does not fit this page's clues. DROWN keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 2.17 (4 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.
Trap warning:
_ROWN
BROWN, CROWN, DROWN, FROWN, GROWN differ only in the first position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; DANGS tests the family more efficiently.
