How to play this shortlist
This pattern has 10 words in the Wordle guess list; 3 are possible answers. The calculator compared 14,786 Wordle guesses against those 3 answers. The possible-answer label is a guide, not a promise about what Wordle's editors will choose.

It is legal under the clues represented on this page. If you also have yellow-position information, check that extra detail in the full Solver.
