How to play this shortlist
This pattern has 10 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: BREAK (June 12, 2026); BRINK (June 23, 2022); BRISK (September 26, 2022); BROOK (August 7, 2023).
ACAIS does not fit this page's clues. BRICK keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 1.8 (2 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.
Tight family:
BRI_K
BRICK, BRINK, BRISK differ only in the fourth position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; ACAIS tests the family more efficiently.
