Wordle Solver

Enter each guess you've made, in order — tap a letter to cycle its color, or use the keyboard and backspace like a normal text field.

Fill in any of the rows above with your guesses, then find matches.

How This Tool Works

The solver checks every word in a full list of valid five-letter words — over 3,000 of them — against three rules at once, applied across every row you've filled in: green letters must sit in that exact position, yellow letters must appear somewhere else in the word, and grey letters must not appear in the word (unless that same letter is also marked green or yellow elsewhere, which handles repeated letters correctly). Filling in more than one row combines their constraints — a letter ruled out in guess one still counts as ruled out when guess three is checked. What's left after filtering is every word consistent with all your guesses at once.

Reading the Results Well

A long list of matches usually means your guess so far hasn't ruled out much — that's a sign your next guess should test fresh letters rather than trying to guess which of the remaining words is "the one." As the list shrinks toward five or ten words, start looking for a pattern: shared endings, a repeated vowel, or a letter that shows up in most of them. That pattern is often more useful than picking randomly from what's left.

Solver vs. Analyzer — Which Tool to Use When

This page works forward: give it your current tile colors and it narrows down what to try next. It's built for the middle of an active round. If you've already finished a game and want to see how well each of your guesses actually performed in hindsight, that's a different job — the WordleBot-style analyzer takes a full completed game and scores how much each guess narrowed the field, guess by guess.

After Filtering, Pick an Elimination Guess — Not Just a Guess That Fits

A common mistake once the list narrows to ten or fifteen words is picking one of them as your next guess by instinct rather than by what it teaches you. If the remaining words share a letter — say, most of them end in -IGHT — guessing one of those words only confirms what you already strongly suspect. A stronger move, especially with three or more guesses still available, is a word built from letters that split the remaining list roughly in half, even if that word itself isn't a likely answer. That approach mirrors exactly what the daily-puzzle strategy in best Wordle starting words recommends for the opener, just applied later in the round.

A Few Ways People Misuse a Solver

• Entering colors from memory instead of the actual board. A single misremembered tile throws off every result after it — double-check against your screen before filtering.
• Guessing straight from the results list without thinking. The list tells you what's possible, not what's most likely — some words are far more common than others, and that's worth weighing.
• Forgetting to reset between rounds. Colors and letters left over from a previous puzzle will silently corrupt the filtering on a new one.
