How to play this shortlist
This pattern has 6 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: BRACE (August 16, 2024); BRAKE (December 20, 2021); BRAVE (November 20, 2022).
ABACK does not fit this page's clues. BRACE keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 1.67 (2 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.
Tight family:
BRA_E
BRACE, BRAKE, BRAVE differ only in the fourth position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; ABACK tests the family more efficiently.
