How to play this shortlist
This pattern has 7 words in the Wordle guess list; 6 are possible answers. The calculator compared 14,786 Wordle guesses against those 6 answers. The possible-answer label is a guide, not a promise about what Wordle's editors will choose.
Previously used by Wordle: BLAND (July 13, 2022); BLEND (September 4, 2025); BLOND (January 16, 2024); BRAND (July 11, 2025).
ABOIL does not fit this page's clues. BLAND keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 2.0 (3 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.
Trap warning:
BL_ND
BLAND, BLEND, BLIND, BLOND differ only in the third position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; ABOIL tests the family more efficiently.
