Previously used by Wordle: CEASE (June 4, 2025); HEAVE (March 12, 2024); LEASE (June 8, 2025); LEAVE (October 1, 2022); PEACE (August 27, 2023); TEASE (March 15, 2022); WEAVE (April 20, 2026).

Top-ranked splitter CHALS

Average remaining: 1.0
Worst branch: 1
Information: 2.81 bits

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

Hard Mode Use VEALE instead.

CHALS does not fit this page's clues. VEALE 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.

Tight family: _EAVE

HEAVE, LEAVE, WEAVE differ only in the first position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; CHALS tests the family more efficiently.
