How to play this shortlist
This pattern has 10 words in the Wordle guess list; 9 are possible answers. The calculator compared 14,786 Wordle guesses against those 9 answers. The possible-answer label is a guide, not a promise about what Wordle's editors will choose.

BHELS does not fit this page's clues. CLASH keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 2.11 (3 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.
Tight family:
CLAS_
CLASH, CLASP, CLASS differ only in the fifth position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; BHELS tests the family more efficiently.
