How to play this shortlist
This pattern has 8 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: DALLY (September 26, 2025); SALLY (March 25, 2024); TALLY (November 17, 2024).
ADATS does not fit this page's clues. DALLY 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:
_ALLY
DALLY, RALLY, SALLY, TALLY differ only in the first position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; ADATS tests the family more efficiently.
