How to play this shortlist
This pattern has 8 words in the Wordle guess list; 5 are possible answers. The calculator compared 14,786 Wordle guesses against those 5 answers. The possible-answer label is a guide, not a promise about what Wordle's editors will choose.
Previously used by Wordle: SCOOP (June 27, 2026); SNOOP (November 2, 2024); SWOOP (February 5, 2026).
CLINT does not fit this page's clues. SALOP keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 3.4 (4 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.
Trap warning:
S_OOP
SCOOP, SLOOP, SNOOP, STOOP, SWOOP differ only in the second position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; CLINT tests the family more efficiently.
