How to play this shortlist
This pattern has 10 words in the Wordle guess list; 5 are possible answers. The calculator compared 14,786 Wordle guesses against those 5 answers. The possible-answer label is a guide, not a promise about what Wordle's editors will choose.
Previously used by Wordle: BULLY (August 8, 2023); FULLY (September 18, 2024); GULLY (September 3, 2022); SULLY (January 20, 2026).
DBAGS does not fit this page's clues. BULLY keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 3.4 (4 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.
Trap warning:
_ULLY
BULLY, DULLY, FULLY, GULLY, SULLY differ only in the first position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; DBAGS tests the family more efficiently.
