Previously used by Wordle: LIGHT (January 31, 2022); LITHE (August 28, 2024).
AAHED does not fit this page's clues. LICHT 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.
