How to play this shortlist

Previously used by Wordle: SKATE (August 25, 2024); SLATE (December 19, 2022); SPATE (April 21, 2025); STATE (March 3, 2024); SWATH (February 7, 2025).
KELEP does not fit this page's clues. SKATE keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 2.2 (3 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.
Trap warning:
S_ATE
SKATE, SLATE, SPATE, STATE differ only in the second position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; KELEP tests the family more efficiently.
