How to play this shortlist
This pattern has 17 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: CONIC (December 11, 2021); IONIC (October 12, 2022); SONIC (December 13, 2021); TONIC (July 19, 2023).
CANST does not fit this page's clues. CONIA 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:
_ONIC
CONIC, IONIC, SONIC, TONIC differ only in the first position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; CANST tests the family more efficiently.
