Primary objective: finish in the turns you have left

Can you finish `F_U_E`?

Set your guesses left, add the feedback you already have, and explore what each next guess could reveal. This planner starts with F_U_E as your green-letter clues.

Plans use our working Wordle answer pool, including previously used answers. A guarantee applies to that pool and the clues you enter.

Two-turn example: ADMIT

In normal mode, this play can cover 3 of 3 possible answers within two guesses, using the pattern alone.

See how the feedback separates the answers

Gray, Gray, Gray, Gray, Gray FLUKE — play this answer next
Gray, Gray, Gray, Gray, Yellow FLUTE — play this answer next
Gray, Gray, Yellow, Gray, Gray FLUME — play this answer next

Adapt this example to your board below. Extra clues and Hard Mode can change the best play.

Advanced: one-turn information and shortlist comparisons

These alternatives optimize how evenly one guess splits the answers. The planner above prioritizes finishing within your remaining turns.

Refine this pattern

The top-ranked splitter is shown in the shortlist note below. Add a gray or yellow clue here to recalculate after the position changes.

Previously used by Wordle: FLUKE (March 1, 2026); FLUME (July 30, 2026); FLUTE (December 7, 2025).

Top-ranked splitter ADMIT

Average remaining: 1.0
Worst branch: 1
Information: 1.58 bits

It is a deliberate probe rather than a possible answer here: the point is to separate the remaining answers cleanly.

Hard Mode Use FLUKE instead.

ADMIT does not fit this page's clues. FLUKE keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 1.67 (2 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.

Tight family: FLU_E

FLUKE, FLUME, FLUTE differ only in the fourth position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; ADMIT tests the family more efficiently.
