Primary objective: finish in the turns you have left

Can you finish `R__OR`?

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

Two-turn example: AARTI

In normal mode, this play can cover 4 of 4 possible answers within two guesses, using the pattern alone.

See how the feedback separates the answers

Gray, Gray, Yellow, Gray, Gray RUMOR — play this answer next
Gray, Gray, Yellow, Gray, Yellow RIGOR — play this answer next
Gray, Gray, Yellow, Yellow, Gray ROTOR — play this answer next
Gray, Green, Yellow, Gray, Gray RAZOR — play this answer next

Adapt this example to your board below. Extra clues and Hard Mode can change the best play.

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.

Refine this pattern

The top-ranked splitter is shown in the shortlist note below. Add a gray or yellow clue here to recalculate after the position changes.

Top-ranked splitter AARTI

Average remaining: 1.0
Worst branch: 1
Information: 2.0 bits

It is a deliberate probe rather than a possible answer here: the point is to separate the remaining answers cleanly.

Hard Mode Use RAZOR instead.

AARTI does not fit this page's clues. RAZOR keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 2.5 (3 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.

No obvious one-slot trap. The possible answers do not form a three-word-or-larger family that differs in only one position.

Compare two plays

Choose any two plays. The figures use the same 4 possible answers.
