ABOUT leaves 1.0 matching words on average, weighted by the answer model through 2026-11-05. Every one of the 14,855 accepted guesses was compared. All 3 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, STAMP has a 33.3% modelled immediate solve chance and leaves 1.6667 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.

How this is calculated

Primary objective: finish in the turns you have left

Can you finish _T_MP?

Set your guesses left, add the feedback you already have, and explore what each next guess could reveal. This planner starts with _T_MP as your green-letter clues.

Information
1.58 bits

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

Hard Mode Use STAMP instead.

ABBOT does not fit this page's clues. STAMP keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 1.67 (2 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.

Tight family: ST_MP

STAMP, STOMP, STUMP differ only in the third position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; ABBOT tests the family more efficiently.
