How to play this shortlist
This pattern has 6 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: PORCH (July 25, 2024).
ABORD does not fit this page's clues. POOCH 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:
PO_CH
POOCH, PORCH, POUCH differ only in the third position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; ABORD tests the family more efficiently.
