Why position matters more than just which letters
Wordle gives you more information than a plain word list search can use. It tells you not just which letters are in the answer, but where they can and can't be. A yellow "E" in position 3 doesn't just mean the answer contains an E; it specifically rules out E in that one spot while still requiring it somewhere else. That's why this tool uses three separate inputs instead of one generic letter box. It's solving a genuinely different, more constrained problem than a standard word finder.
Every match is checked against all three constraints at once: green position locks, yellow position exclusions, and gray full exclusions, filtered from a pool of 3,568 five-letter words.
Opening word strategy: a strong first guess favors common letters spread across different positions rather than letters clustered together. Words containing several of E, A, R, O, T, and S tend to eliminate the most possibilities early, since these are among the most frequent letters in five-letter English words. Avoiding repeated letters in your opener also means each guess tests the maximum number of distinct letters at once.
If you're down to your last guess and the solver returns many matches, prioritize words that use more common letters overall. A word built from frequent letters is statistically more likely to be the day's answer than one with unusual letters, even though both are technically valid. If you're managing four boards at once instead of one, our Quordle Solver uses this same engine extended to track each board separately.
How it works
Type any letter you know is in the correct position, in that exact tile.
Place each yellow letter in the position where Wordle marked it yellow, telling the solver "in the word, but not here."
Type every letter Wordle has told you isn't in the word at all.
Common questions
How do I use the green, yellow, and gray rows?
Green is for letters you know are in the exact right spot. Yellow is for letters you know are in the word, but Wordle told you they're in the wrong position, so put them in the position where they were marked yellow. Gray is for letters Wordle told you aren't in the word at all.
Why does a yellow letter need a specific position?
Because Wordle's yellow marker means "this letter is in the word, but not here." Entering it in the position where you saw it marked yellow lets the solver correctly exclude that exact spot while still requiring the letter elsewhere.
What if a letter is both green and gray in different guesses?
This can happen with repeated letters, like two E's where only one is correct. This tool handles most cases correctly by prioritizing green and yellow information, but repeated-letter edge cases are the one scenario where it can occasionally include a word it shouldn't. Cross-check manually if a word looks obviously wrong.
Does this only work for the daily Wordle, or any 5-letter word game?
It works for any game built around guessing a 5-letter word with position feedback, including the daily Wordle, Wordle clones, and similar games. The mechanics are the same.
How many 5-letter words are in the dictionary this tool uses?
3,568. Every possible match comes from that pool, filtered down by whatever green, yellow, and gray information you provide.
Is using a solver considered cheating at Wordle?
That's a personal call. Many players use a solver only after getting stuck, to learn from a puzzle rather than to preserve a streak artificially. Wordle itself doesn't penalize how you arrive at an answer.
Can I use this before making any guesses at all?
You can, but it won't narrow much. With no green, yellow, or gray letters entered, it shows all 5-letter words in the dictionary. It's most useful after at least one or two real guesses.
What happens if I enter conflicting information by mistake?
You'll likely get zero results, since the constraints contradict each other. Double-check that a letter isn't marked both green in one spot and excluded entirely in the gray field.
Does the solver know which words have already been used as past answers?
No, it only checks against the dictionary, not a list of past Wordle answers. If you want to rule out a word for that reason, you'll need to cross-reference it yourself.
