You’ve got a few letters in the right places, some misplaced, and a bunch of grays. You don’t want the answer handed to you - you just want a little help narrowing it down. This helper is designed for that: it shows possible words based on your feedback, but keeps the puzzle intact.
Light-touch input
Enter your green letters in the exact position boxes, yellow letters in the “misplaced” field, and gray letters in the excluded list. The helper returns a filtered list without overwhelming you with every possible word.
Focus on common words
The helper uses a curated dictionary of common five-letter words, not every obscure Scrabble term. This means results are more likely to be the actual Wordle answer, saving you from chasing rare words.
Duplicate letter handling
If you suspect a repeated letter (like in “PUPIL”), use the pattern and exclude fields carefully. The helper will include words with repeats, which many basic tools ignore.
Hints mode
Toggle hints mode to see clues instead of full words. For example, “contains two vowels” or “ends with T.” This keeps the challenge alive while giving you a push.
Why this is an independent helper
This tool is not affiliated with NYT Wordle. It’s a fan-made utility that uses a standard word list. No live answers, no daily spoilers - just pattern matching based on what you enter.
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 your known letters into the position boxes, misplaced letters into the yellow field, and excluded letters into the gray field. Hit search and review the filtered results.
What is the best next Wordle guess?
A good next guess uses common letters and avoids letters already ruled out. The helper highlights words that test high-frequency letters like E, A, R, I, O, T, N, S, L, C. If you’re stuck, pick a word from the top of the ranked list.
Can Wordle answers have repeated letters?
Yes. Words like “PUPIL” or “MAMMA” are valid. Make sure the helper’s duplicate setting matches your puzzle. If you’ve seen a letter twice in the feedback, enable repeats.
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?
If you want a hint instead of a full answer, use the result list lightly: look for repeated patterns, likely vowels, or a possible ending without copying the first word.
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.
