Wordle score percentile calculator
Enter the seven numbers from your stats screen to calculate your true average, compare it with contributed games, and estimate how long a streak may last at your fail rate.
Nothing you type here leaves your device. The page ships two public reference points: the site-wide guess distribution from the Wordle Observatory's opt-in sample and the site's solver benchmark. All of your own arithmetic runs in your browser. Your counts are saved only in this browser's local storage so they are still here next time.
The crowd comparison covers 32 contributed games across 28 completed puzzles at the time this page was generated. It is a self-selected sample of players who chose to share results, so it likely runs more practiced than Wordle players overall. A "top 30%" result here is not the same as beating 30% of all players.
Your seven numbers
Copy the guess-distribution bars from your Wordle stats screen. The screen does not show fails directly: fails are games played minus games won.
What your numbers say
Against the solver benchmark
The benchmark line is SLANT played by the site's solver with one fixed continuation policy over 2,374 simulated answers, averaging 3.4562 guesses. It is a solver-recommended line, not perfect play. Human play is not directly comparable, so use the benchmark only as a reference point.
Streak survival at your fail rate
One closed formula drives this table: if your fail rate is p, the chance your streak survives N more days is (1 − p)N. It assumes each day is an independent try at your current skill, which understates risk on unusually hard puzzles and ignores improvement.

How each number is computed
True average. Total guesses across solved games divided by solved games. Fails are excluded from the average, matching the scope of the site's simulation data. They are reported separately because averaging an X as a 7 would invent a number Wordle never records.
Percentile. Your average is compared against each published result cell of the Observatory's site-wide distribution: games that took more guesses than your average count as beaten, fails count as beaten by any solve, and games at exactly your average count half. The result is a percentile of individual contributed games, not of players. Player averages cluster tighter than single games. It does not rank your long-run average against other players' averages. Cells below the sample threshold of 10 games are excluded because the Observatory never publishes them, and the page says how many games the comparison actually covers.
Streak odds. Your fail rate is fails divided by total games. When you have recorded no fails the true rate is not zero just because the sample missed it, so the page uses the standard rule-of-three bound instead: with G games and no fails, a 95% upper bound on the fail rate is 3/G, and the survival odds shown are the floor implied by that bound.
Common questions
- What is the average Wordle score?
- This site quotes a crowd average only from its opt-in Observatory sample, and only once at least 10 games have been contributed. Below that threshold the average stays unpublished rather than borrowed from a source that cannot be verified. For scale, the site's solver benchmark plays SLANT with one fixed continuation policy over 2,374 simulated answers and averages 3.4562 guesses. Treat it as a fixed-policy benchmark, not a typical human score.
- What is a good Wordle score?
- Averages need context: a lone 3 is common, but holding an average near 3.4562 would match the site's solver benchmark, which no player sustains by hand. A personal average in the high threes over many games is strong. For keeping a streak, the count that matters most is fails, not average: a 6 and a 2 both keep a streak alive, while one X ends it.
- How does this calculator work out my percentile?
- It compares your average against every individual game result published from the site's opt-in Observatory sample: the share of contributed games that took more guesses than your average (counting fails as worse than any solve) puts you in the top slice of that sample. It is a percentile of contributed games, not of all Wordle players. The sample is self-selected, and results in cells below the privacy threshold are excluded because they are never published.
- How likely is my Wordle streak to survive?
- If your fail rate is p (fails divided by games played), the chance a streak survives N more days is (1 - p) multiplied by itself N times. That closed form assumes each day is an independent try at your current skill level, which understates risk on unusually hard puzzles and ignores improvement. It is an estimate, not a promise.
