Choose a move for this list

ARSON leaves 13.8639 matching words on average, weighted by the answer model through 2026-11-05. This is the recommended move among a fixed panel of 64 evaluated guesses. All 158 matching words count, including words outside the working answer pool.

This move is an information probe: it does not fit this list and cannot solve this illustrated position immediately. It tests letters in Normal Mode; a Hard Mode move must also keep your revealed hints.

To attempt the most likely matching answer now, LEPER has a 13.2% modelled immediate solve chance and leaves 61.8462 words on average. This compares an immediate answer attempt with the information gained by the recommended move.

This illustration assumes only the shown green letters. Your grey and yellow tiles can change both the candidates and legal moves. Use the Solver for your complete board.

How this is calculated

Primary objective: finish in the turns you have left

Can you finish L__E_?

Set your guesses left, add the feedback you already have, and explore what each next guess could reveal. This planner starts with L__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.

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.
