Choose a move for this list

TREND leaves 1.1667 matching words on average, weighted by the answer model through 2026-11-05. Every one of the 14,855 accepted guesses was compared. All 12 matching words count, including words outside the working answer pool.

This move is an information probe: it does not fit this list and cannot solve this illustrated position immediately. It tests letters in Normal Mode; a Hard Mode move must also keep your revealed hints.

To attempt the most likely matching answer now, CIDES has a 8.3% modelled immediate solve chance and leaves 4.5 words on average. This compares an immediate answer attempt with the information gained by the recommended move.

This illustration assumes only the shown green letters. Your grey and yellow tiles can change both the candidates and legal moves. Use the Solver for your complete board.
