Choose a move for this list
ANIME leaves 1.046 matching words on average, weighted by the answer model through 2026-11-05. This is the recommended move among a fixed panel of 64 evaluated guesses. All 25 matching words count, including words outside the working answer pool.
This move is an information probe: it does not fit this list and cannot solve this illustrated position immediately. It tests letters in Normal Mode; a Hard Mode move must also keep your revealed hints.
To attempt the most likely matching answer now, SPERM has a 48.8% modelled immediate solve chance and leaves 6.0183 words on average. This compares an immediate answer attempt with the information gained by the recommended move.
This illustration assumes only the shown green letters. Your grey and yellow tiles can change both the candidates and legal moves. Use the Solver for your complete board.
Primary objective: finish in the turns you have left
Can you finish _P_R_?
Set your guesses left, add the feedback you already have, and explore what each next guess could reveal. This planner starts with _P_R_ as your green-letter clues.
Plans use our working Wordle answer pool, including previously used answers. A guarantee applies to that pool and the clues you enter.
Add an earlier guess
Enter a guess you have already played. This adds clues without reducing “Guesses left now”. Add earlier guesses in the order you played them.

How to play this shortlist

Previously used by Wordle: APART (February 23, 2024); OPERA (January 8, 2023); SPARE (April 8, 2025); SPARK (March 19, 2025); SPIRE (January 15, 2023); SPORE (August 24, 2025); SPORT (May 27, 2025); SPURT (October 4, 2023).
ACONE does not fit this page's clues. OPERA keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 1.4 (2 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.
Tight family:
SP_RE
SPARE, SPIRE, SPORE differ only in the third position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; ACONE tests the family more efficiently.
