How to play this shortlist
This pattern has 22 words in the Wordle guess list; 7 are possible answers. The calculator compared 14,786 Wordle guesses against those 7 answers. The possible-answer label is a guide, not a promise about what Wordle's editors will choose.
Previously used by Wordle: HASTY (March 9, 2026); NASTY (March 2, 2022); SASSY (November 14, 2023); TASTY (February 3, 2023).
PIGHT does not fit this page's clues. PASTY keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 2.14 (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; PIGHT tests the family more efficiently.
