You're staring at a Wordle grid with a few green, yellow, and gray squares. Your next guess could make or break your streak. This tool is built for that moment: enter the letters you know, lock their positions, and get a shortlist of possible answers - no spoilers unless you want them.
When you need a nudge, not the answer
Sometimes you just want to confirm a hunch or rule out a bad guess. Use the green/yellow/gray input to mirror your board. The tool filters out impossible words and shows only valid 5-letter candidates. You decide how much to reveal.
How to handle repeated letters
Wordle answers can have double letters (think “ABBOT” or “FLOOD”). If you suspect a repeat, check the “allow duplicates” option. The solver will include words with repeated letters, which many basic tools miss.
Best next guess logic
After you enter your constraints, the tool ranks remaining words by how many new letters they test. A good guess isn’t just a possible answer - it’s one that eliminates the most options if it’s wrong. The list shows both likely answers and smart probing words.
Spoiler-safe hints mode
Don’t want to see the full answer list? Toggle “hints only.” You’ll get a clue like “starts with C” or “contains two vowels” instead of the actual word. Keeps the puzzle fun while giving you a direction.
Why this is an independent helper
This tool is not affiliated with or endorsed by 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 the letters you know into the corresponding position boxes. Green letters go in the exact spot, yellow letters go into the “misplaced” field, and gray letters go into the excluded list. 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 solver 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 solver’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.
