How to play this shortlist
This pattern has 11 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: GOODY (February 10, 2025); GOOEY (September 28, 2025); GOOFY (October 23, 2024).
AAHED does not fit this page's clues. GOODY 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:
GOO_Y
GOODY, GOOEY, GOOFY differ only in the fourth position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; AAHED tests the family more efficiently.
