How to play this shortlist
This pattern has 7 words in the Wordle guess list; 7 are possible answers. The calculator compared 14,786 Wordle guesses against those 7 answers. The possible-answer label is a guide, not a promise about what Wordle's editors will choose.
Previously used by Wordle: SKIMP (May 28, 2023); SLUMP (January 7, 2022); STAMP (March 16, 2025); STOMP (July 28, 2022); STUMP (June 28, 2025); SWAMP (March 31, 2026).
ACTUS does not fit this page's clues. STAMP keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 1.86 (2 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.
Tight family:
ST_MP
STAMP, STOMP, STUMP differ only in the third position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; ACTUS tests the family more efficiently.
