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: SCONE (August 11, 2024); STONE (September 21, 2023); STONY (January 7, 2024).
ACETA does not fit this page's clues. SCONE 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:
S_ONE
SCONE, SHONE, STONE differ only in the second position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; ACETA tests the family more efficiently.
