How to play this shortlist
This pattern has 10 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: QUART (August 1, 2022); QUEST (August 20, 2023); QUIET (July 5, 2021); QUILT (December 21, 2025).
