Wordle Trap Atlas

Map the one-letter families that swallow guesses

When four positions match, guessing candidates one by one can burn through the board. Explore every four-or-more-answer family in the working pool and compare a free Normal Mode probe with the strict Hard Mode lane.

Two answers are connected when they differ in exactly one position. Families with the same component number connect through shared members or one-letter chains, revealing larger networks of nearby words.

A family is a warning, not a reconstructed board

The graph is built from the 2,358-word working answer pool. A family appears when at least four answers are identical in four positions. Overlapping families are connected through shared answer words.

The Normal Mode calculation tests all 14,855 captured accepted guesses. The strict Hard Mode comparison assumes the four visible pattern letters have already turned green. Real yellow-only histories can leave a wider legal pool, so use the Hard Mode helper for an exact board.
