How to play this shortlist
This pattern has 7 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: TRICE (September 19, 2022); TRIPE (May 9, 2025); TRITE (July 20, 2022).
BECAP does not fit this page's clues. TRIBE keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 2.5 (3 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.
Trap warning:
TRI_E
TRIBE, TRICE, TRIPE, TRITE differ only in the fourth position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; BECAP tests the family more efficiently.
