How to play this shortlist
This pattern has 6 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: COUCH (May 26, 2026); TOUCH (December 22, 2023); VOUCH (May 25, 2022).
CAPOT does not fit this page's clues. COUCH 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:
_OUCH
COUCH, POUCH, TOUCH, VOUCH differ only in the first position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; CAPOT tests the family more efficiently.
