How to play this shortlist
This pattern has 10 words in the Wordle guess list; 3 are possible answers. The calculator compared 14,786 Wordle guesses against those 3 answers. The possible-answer label is a guide, not a promise about what Wordle's editors will choose.
Previously used by Wordle: ADAPT (December 3, 2023); APART (February 23, 2024); AWAIT (September 3, 2023).
It is legal under the clues represented on this page. If you also have yellow-position information, check that extra detail in the full Solver.
No obvious one-slot trap. The possible answers do not form a three-word-or-larger family that differs in only one position.
