Primary objective: finish in the turns you have left

Can you finish `_ASTY`?

Two-turn example: HANAP

In normal mode, this play can cover 4 of 4 possible answers within two guesses, using the pattern alone.

The top-ranked splitter is shown in the shortlist note below. Add a gray or yellow clue here to recalculate after the position changes.

Previously used by Wordle: HASTY (March 9, 2026); NASTY (March 2, 2022); TASTY (February 3, 2023).

Top-ranked splitter HANAP

Average remaining: 1.0
Worst branch: 1
Information: 2.0 bits

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

Hard Mode Use HASTY instead.

HANAP does not fit this page's clues. HASTY 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: _ASTY

HASTY, NASTY, PASTY, TASTY differ only in the first position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; HANAP tests the family more efficiently.
