How the Wordle solver works
Wordle gives you feedback after every guess: green for a correct letter in the right spot, yellow for a correct letter in the wrong spot, and grey for a letter that is not in the word. This solver takes exactly that feedback and filters the entire list of five-letter words down to words that fit those constraints — then puts familiar candidates first, so your next guess is an informed one rather than a shot in the dark.
Step by step
- Type the five-letter word you already guessed into the boxes.
- Tap each box to set its colour — tap once for yellow (right letter, wrong place), again for green (correct place), or leave it grey (not in the word).
- Press Find matches to see remaining candidate answers.
- Play one, read the new colours, update the boxes, and repeat. Press Reset to start a fresh puzzle.
Worked tile example
If you enter TRAIN and leave every tile grey, the solver excludes all five letters from its suggestions. Marking the A yellow instead keeps A in the answer but removes words with A in that position; marking it green fixes A in that exact square.
Strategy tips
- Open with vowel-rich words. Starters like adieu, audio or arose reveal a lot of the vowels early.
- Spend your second guess on new letters. Even if you have greens, testing five unused letters narrows the field faster.
- Mind repeated letters. A letter can be green in one spot and still appear again elsewhere — the solver handles this, so enter every clue you have.
- Trust the "common first" order. Wordle answers are everyday words, so the top of the list makes the safest guess.
Frequently asked questions
Does it spoil the puzzle?
Only as much as you want — it narrows the field from the clues you enter, leaving the final choice to you.
Why are familiar words shown first?
Because familiar matches are usually more useful next guesses; extended dictionary matches remain available separately and are not claimed to be an official answer list.
