How to Use This Wordle Helper

Step 1: Type your 5-letter guess using the keyboard below or your physical keyboard. The letters fill in on the current row.

Step 2: Click each tile to cycle its color. Gray means the letter is not in the word. Yellow means the letter is in the word but in the wrong position. Green means the letter is in the correct position. Match the colors to what Wordle showed you.

Step 3: Click "Filter Words" to see all possible remaining answers. The list updates based on every guess you have entered.

You can enter up to 6 guesses, just like in the real game. This tool does not tell you today's answer. It helps you narrow down the possibilities so you can solve it yourself.

Best Starting Words for Wordle

A good first word uses common letters and avoids repeats. The most frequently used letters in 5-letter English words are E, A, R, S, T, O, L, I, N, and C (in roughly that order). Words like CRANE, SLATE, TRACE, SALET, and ROATE score well in analysis because they test many common letters at once.

Some players prefer vowel-heavy openers like ADIEU or AUDIO to quickly identify which vowels are present. Others prefer consonant-rich words to narrow the field faster. Either strategy works. The key is to avoid obscure letters like Q, Z, X, or J in your first guess.

Wordle Strategy Tips

Eliminate, do not guess. Your second word should test new letters, not reuse confirmed ones. If your first guess gives you one green and no yellows, use your second guess to test five completely different letters.

Watch for double letters. Words like SPEED, LLAMA, or ABBEY have repeated letters, and Wordle handles them in a specific way. If you guess a word with two of the same letter and only one is yellow, the word has exactly one of that letter.

Think about common endings. Many Wordle answers end in common suffixes like -ING, -ATE, -ANE, -OWN, -ISH, and -OUR. If you have the last two letters nailed down, mentally run through common word endings.

Wordle Helper FAQ

What is the best first word in Wordle?
Popular strong openers include CRANE, SLATE, TRACE, and ADIEU. The best first word uses common letters (E, A, R, S, T) and avoids repeating letters to maximize the information from your first guess.
Does this tool tell me today's Wordle answer?
No. This tool shows you all possible remaining words based on your guesses and the color feedback you enter. It helps you solve the puzzle yourself rather than giving away the answer.
How many possible Wordle words are there?
The original Wordle word list contains about 2,309 possible answer words. The broader list of accepted guesses (words you can type but may never be the answer) is about 12,500 words. This tool filters from the answer-eligible word list.
Why did the tool show a word that was not the answer?
The tool shows all words that match your color constraints. The actual Wordle answer is always one of the words shown (assuming your colors are entered correctly), but it cannot predict which one. Think of it as a shortlist, not a crystal ball.
How do I change a tile's color?
Click or tap on any tile to cycle through the three states: gray (not in word), yellow (wrong position), green (correct position). Make sure the colors match exactly what Wordle showed you before clicking Filter.
