How to play this shortlist
This pattern has 7 words in the Wordle guess list; 6 are possible answers. The calculator compared 14,786 Wordle guesses against those 6 answers. The possible-answer label is a guide, not a promise about what Wordle's editors will choose.
Previously used by Wordle: GRACE (December 24, 2023); GRADE (March 15, 2026); GRAPE (July 26, 2026); GRATE (September 24, 2022); GRAVE (November 20, 2025).
ACTED does not fit this page's clues. GRACE keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 4.33 (5 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.
Trap warning:
GRA_E
GRACE, GRADE, GRAPE, GRATE, GRAVE, GRAZE differ only in the fourth position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; ACTED tests the family more efficiently.
