How to play this shortlist
This pattern has 8 words in the Wordle guess list; 5 are possible answers. The calculator compared 14,786 Wordle guesses against those 5 answers. The possible-answer label is a guide, not a promise about what Wordle's editors will choose.
Previously used by Wordle: BEACH (August 21, 2023); BELCH (October 15, 2021); BENCH (July 6, 2021); BERTH (July 10, 2022).
ACENE does not fit this page's clues. BEACH keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 2.2 (3 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.
Trap warning:
BE_CH
BEACH, BEECH, BELCH, BENCH differ only in the third position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; ACENE tests the family more efficiently.
