How to read the colors

Each tile gets one color. Enter them exactly as your game shows them, including repeated letters.

One guess, three colors

Green
A is in the word, in spot 3.
Yellow
R is in the word, but not in spot 2.
Gray
C, N and E aren't in the word.

A repeat with one copy lit

The answer has exactly one E, in spot 3. The second E is gray because there isn't another one, not because E is missing.

A repeat with both copies lit

The answer has at least two E's: one in spot 4, and another somewhere other than spot 3.

Optional · Uses today's answer

Check a guess against today's answer

This compares one word with the answer to Wordle #1962 (Mon, Nov 2) and shows the colors you'd get. That can give away letters, so it stays off until you turn it on. The solver above never uses it.

Solver questions

What it uses, and what it doesn't. Starting-words guide

Does the solver know today's answer?

No. It only uses the guesses and colors you enter, and filters our word list. The check at the bottom of the page is the only feature that uses today's answer, and it stays off unless you turn it on.

How does it handle repeated letters?

The way the game does. Greens are marked first, then yellows from the letters that are left. So if you guess a word with two E's and only one lights up, the solver knows the answer has exactly one E.

Where do the words come from?

From a list of about 8,746 five-letter English words, built from the public-domain ENABLE list and the SCOWL word lists. It can include words that have never been a Wordle answer, and a word showing up here doesn't mean it will be one. Everyday words show in dark type and rarer ones in gray.
