How to play this shortlist
This pattern has 6 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: REUSE (June 7, 2025); ROUGE (November 22, 2021); ROUSE (September 8, 2023); ROUTE (January 12, 2024).
AEGIS does not fit this page's clues. REUSE 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:
ROU_E
ROUGE, ROUSE, ROUTE differ only in the fourth position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; AEGIS tests the family more efficiently.
