How to play this shortlist
This pattern has 14 words in the Wordle guess list; 6 are possible answers. The calculator compared 14,786 Wordle guesses against those 6 answers. The possible-answer label is a guide, not a promise about what Wordle's editors will choose.
Previously used by Wordle: SLATE (December 19, 2022); SLICE (May 2, 2024); SLIME (March 2, 2026); SLOPE (December 23, 2023).
ADMIT does not fit this page's clues. SLADE keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 2.33 (3 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.
Tight family:
SLI_E
SLICE, SLIDE, SLIME differ only in the fourth position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; ADMIT tests the family more efficiently.
