How to play this shortlist
This pattern has 6 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.
Previously used by Wordle: FIFTH (May 16, 2025); FINCH (April 6, 2024).
ABLET does not fit this page's clues. FIFTH keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 1.0 (1 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.
No obvious one-slot trap. The possible answers do not form a three-word-or-larger family that differs in only one position.
Compare two plays
Choose any two plays. The figures use the same 3 possible answers.
