You're staring at a Wordle grid with a few green letters locked in place, some yellows floating, and a row of grays you know are dead ends. You need a next guess that won't waste your streak - not a list of every possible word, but a smart shortlist that respects what you already know. This tool is for that moment: enter your greens, yellows, and grays, and get a curated set of best next guesses, ranked by likelihood and letter frequency. No spoilers unless you want them.
How to enter your known letters without overthinking
Type your green letters into the correct position boxes. Add yellow letters in the "misplaced" field - don't worry about which position they appeared in, just list them. Then dump all gray letters into the excluded field. The tool handles the rest. If you're not sure about a letter, leave it blank. You can always tighten the filter after seeing the first batch of results.
Why some guesses are better than others
The tool doesn't just match patterns - it ranks guesses by how many new letters they test and how common those letters are in actual Wordle answers. A guess like "CRANE" might be better than "CRAZE" even if both fit, because it uses more high-frequency letters. The results show a "score" next to each word so you can pick the one that gives you the most information for your next turn.
Spoiler-safe hints: see just enough to keep the puzzle fun
If you want a nudge without copying the answer, use the result list lightly. Look for common endings, repeated letters, or a likely vowel pattern, then choose your own next guess.
What to do when no words match
If the tool returns zero results, you've likely excluded a letter that's actually in the answer, or you've locked a green in the wrong position. Double-check your grays - it's easy to accidentally type a letter that's yellow. Try removing one constraint at a time to see which filter is too strict. If you're still stuck, reset and start with only the greens.
Handling repeated letters in Wordle
Wordle answers can have repeated letters - "PUPIL" has two P's, for example. If you suspect a repeat, enter the letter twice in the required letters field. The tool will only return words that use that letter at least as many times as you've entered. This catches cases where a yellow appears more than once in the grid.
Wordle-style example
After a guess like CRANE, enter confirmed green letters in the pattern, put yellow letters in contains, and put gray letters in exclude. Do not judge the list until all three signals are entered.
Choose the right word tool
Use this page when your clue information comes from previous guesses: green letters, yellow letters, and excluded gray letters. If you only have loose letters with no positions, an unscrambler or word finder is a better fit.
Common Questions
How do I use a Wordle solver?
Enter fixed letters as a pattern, put gray letters in the exclude field, and use contains for yellow letters you know must appear. Solve to get a short candidate list, then choose the guess that gives you useful information.
What is the best next Wordle guess?
The best guess is one that tests multiple high-frequency letters you haven't ruled out yet. The tool ranks guesses by a combination of letter frequency and positional fit, so the top result is usually the most informative.
Can Wordle answers have repeated letters?
Yes. Wordle uses a dictionary that includes words with repeated letters, like "PUPIL" or "MIMIC." If you see a yellow letter more than once, enter it twice in the required letters field.
What do green, yellow, and gray mean?
Green means the letter is correct and in the right position. Yellow means the letter is in the word but in a different position. Gray means the letter is not in the word at all.
How can I get hints without seeing the answer?
Use the list as a hint by reading patterns instead of copying the first word. For example, notice likely endings, vowel placement, or repeated letters.
Before your next guess
Before you use a candidate as your next guess, compare it against every clue from previous guesses. A word that fits the length can still be wrong if it reuses a gray letter or puts a yellow letter back in the same position.
