How to play this shortlist
This pattern has 8 words in the Wordle guess list; 4 are possible answers. The calculator compared 14,786 Wordle guesses against those 4 answers. The possible-answer label is a guide, not a promise about what Wordle's editors will choose.
Previously used by Wordle: PAINT (June 21, 2024); PLANT (April 22, 2022); POINT (January 19, 2022); PRINT (August 19, 2021).
AARGH does not fit this page's clues. PAINT keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 1.5 (2 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.
Tight family:
P_INT
PAINT, POINT, PRINT differ only in the second position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; AARGH tests the family more efficiently.
