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: EJECT (December 1, 2022); EVENT (November 7, 2024); EXERT (September 15, 2023).
ACRAL does not fit this page's clues. EVERT keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 1.4 (2 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.
Tight family:
E_ECT
EJECT, ELECT, ERECT differ only in the second position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; ACRAL tests the family more efficiently.
