Possible answers

TABLE TALLY

Previously used by Wordle: TABLE (December 19, 2023); TALLY (November 17, 2024).

Top-ranked splitter AAHED

Average remaining: 1.0
Worst branch: 1
Information: 1.0 bits

It is a deliberate probe rather than a possible answer here: the point is to separate the remaining answers cleanly.

Hard Mode Use TABLA instead.

AAHED does not fit this page's clues. TABLA keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 1.0 (1 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.

No obvious one-slot trap. The possible answers do not form a three-word-or-larger family that differs in only one position.

Compare two plays

Choose any two plays. The figures use the same 2 possible answers.
