What it does
Wordle asks you to guess a five-letter word in six tries. After each guess it colours each letter green (right letter, right place), yellow (in the word, wrong place) or grey (not in the word at all). This solver takes everything those hints have told you and lists every five-letter word still consistent with them.
How it works
Each tile colour becomes a rule the answer must satisfy:
- Green — this letter is in the answer at exactly this position.
- Yellow — this letter is in the answer, but not at this position.
- Grey — this letter is not in the answer at all (unless the same letter turned green or yellow somewhere else, which just means the answer contains fewer copies of it than your guess).
The solver combines the rules from every guess you enter, then scans a large English word list for five-letter words that satisfy all of them together. The word list stays on the server; only your constraints go over the network.
Worked example
Suppose your first guess told you the answer starts with C and R — pattern cr___. Applied to the small demo list from our test fixture (crane, crass, crate, crimp, trail, train), the solver keeps the four cr… words and drops the two tr… words: CRANE, CRASS, CRATE, CRIMP.
How to use this solver
- Type your first guess into the input.
- Click each tile to cycle its colour to match what Wordle showed you (grey → yellow → green).
- Click Add another guess to layer in the hints from your next attempt.
- The list of possible answers narrows as you add guesses. Pick one that would rule out as many candidates as possible for your next guess.
Frequently asked
Are these all valid Wordle answers?
Not necessarily. Wordle accepts a very large list of five-letter words as guesses, but the daily answer is drawn from a shorter, curated shortlist. This solver searches the broader SCOWL word list, so it will sometimes suggest an obscure word that Wordle would accept as a guess but would never use as the day's answer. Use common sense on unusual results.
What if a letter appears twice in my guess?
The tricky case: you guess LLAMA and Wordle shows one L green and one L grey. That means the answer contains exactly one L. This solver correctly keeps words with the green L and refuses to place an L at the grey position, but it does not yet enforce exact letter counts — so a few candidates with two L's may still appear. Cross-check those by eye.
Does it work for other word lengths?
Wordle itself is five letters. The underlying search supports lengths from three to fifteen, so the same solver logic works for other daily word puzzles — the interface here is fixed to five to match Wordle.
Is my input sent anywhere?
Your guesses are looked up on our server (that is where the dictionary lives), but they are not stored, and nothing else about your query is kept.
