How to play this shortlist

Previously used by Wordle: BOSSY (October 24, 2024).
AAHED does not fit this page's clues. BASSY 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.
