How does the Wordle solver work?

Enter your known information from Wordle guesses: green letters (correct letter, correct position), yellow letters (correct letter, wrong position), and gray letters (not in the word). The solver filters a list of common 5-letter words and shows every word that matches all your constraints.

How many words does the solver check?

The solver checks against a list of common 5-letter English words — the same type of words Wordle uses as answers. All filtering happens locally in your browser with no network requests, so results are instant.

What if no words match?

If no words match, check for conflicts between your inputs. A letter cannot be both yellow (in the word) and gray (not in the word) unless the word contains exactly one of that letter. Double-check your entries and try again.

Q: What are green, yellow, and gray letters in Wordle?

In Wordle, each guess reveals colored tiles. Green means the letter is correct and in the right position. Yellow means the letter is in the word but in the wrong position. Gray means the letter does not appear in the word at all.

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 your green letters in the matching positions, type your yellow letters into the "letters in word" field, and add any gray (eliminated) letters to the last field. 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 when you use all three fields together. Even one or two green letters dramatically reduces the candidate list. Add yellow letters to 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

How do I use the solver?

After each Wordle guess, enter what you learned: type any green (correct position) letters into the matching boxes, type yellow letters into "letters in word", and type gray letters into "letters not in word". Then click Find Words to see every word that still fits.

What if no words come up?

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).

Does the solver work offline?

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.

Why might the answer not be in the results?

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.
