How to play this shortlist
This pattern has 7 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: SCORE (February 11, 2025); SHORE (August 14, 2024); SNORE (April 22, 2026); SPORE (August 24, 2025); STORE (November 28, 2021).
CHANT does not fit this page's clues. SCORE keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 4.33 (5 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.
Trap warning:
S_ORE
SCORE, SHORE, SNORE, SPORE, STORE, SWORE differ only in the second position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; CHANT tests the family more efficiently.
