How to play this shortlist

Previously used by Wordle: BRASH (May 21, 2023); BROTH (April 10, 2024); BRUSH (September 22, 2023).

It is a deliberate probe rather than a possible answer here: the point is to separate the remaining answers cleanly.

Hard Mode Use BRASH instead.

AAPAS does not fit this page's clues. BRASH keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 1.0 (1 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues 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.

Choose any two plays. The figures use the same 3 possible answers.
