How the Wordle Solver Works
Wordle is a daily word game where you have six attempts to guess a secret five-letter word. After each guess, the tiles change colour: green means that letter is correct and in the right position, yellow means the letter is in the word but in the wrong position, and gray means the letter doesn't appear in the word at all.
This solver takes everything you've learned from your guesses and narrows the field. Enter each guess in the tile grid and click each tile to set its colour — green for the right position, yellow for the wrong position, gray for not in the word. Hit Find Words and the solver instantly shows every word that satisfies all your constraints.
Getting the Most Out of the Solver
The solver works best with more guesses entered. Even one or two green letters dramatically reduces the candidate list. Yellow letters narrow it further. By your third or fourth guess, you'll often have only a handful of candidates remaining.
If the solver returns no matches, check for conflicts: a letter can't appear in both the yellow and gray fields unless the word uses that letter exactly once. For example, if you guessed "SPEED" and one E was yellow and one was gray, that tells you the word has exactly one E — enter it in yellow only.
Best Opening Words for Wordle
Strong opening guesses cover common letters across different positions. Words like crane, stare, slate, arose, and raise are popular starting points because they test high-frequency letters (S, T, R, A, E) spread across five positions. A good opener gives you the most information for your second guess.
Use your first guess to test common letters, not to guess the answer.
Avoid repeating letters in your early guesses — you learn more from unique letters.
After two guesses, paste your results into the solver to see your options.
If the solver returns more than 20 words, your third guess should test new letters rather than try to answer.
Wordle Solver Questions
Type each guess into a row of tiles, then click each tile to cycle its colour — gray (not in word), yellow (wrong position), green (correct position). Then click Find Words to see every word that still fits.
A zero-result search usually means there's a conflict in your inputs. The most common cause: a letter appears in both the yellow and gray fields. This can happen when a word contains a repeated letter — for example, if you guessed "SPEED" and position 4 was yellow but position 5 was gray, the word has exactly one E. In that case, enter E in yellow only (not gray).
Yes. The entire word list is loaded with the page — no API calls are made when you search. Once the page has loaded, the solver works even without an internet connection.
The solver uses a curated list of common five-letter English words. Occasionally Wordle uses a less common word that isn't in this list, or a word was added to Wordle's list after this solver was built. If you're confident your inputs are correct but the answer isn't showing, try our word finder to search by pattern instead.
The NYT answer list (~2,315 words) is the curated set Wordle picks from for daily answers — common, recognisable English words. The full word list (~12,972 words) adds the larger set of guesses Wordle accepts as input, including obscure and archaic words. Use the answer list to narrow results to likely solutions; switch to the full list when you want to test or double-check unusual guesses.
Each row is processed independently. Greens lock the letter to that position; yellows say the letter is in the word but not at that position. When a single guess has the same letter marked both yellow/green and gray — for example, two E's where one was yellow and the other gray — the solver treats the count as exact: the answer has the same number of E's as the green-plus-yellow count for that row, and no more.
