About the wordle solver

This Wordle solver works like your real game board: type a guess, then tap each tile to set it grey (not in the word), yellow (right letter, wrong spot) or green (correct letter, correct spot). Add a row for each guess you've made and it narrows the five-letter words down to the ones that still fit — handling misplaced letters and repeated letters correctly.

It runs entirely in your browser against Wordle's official word lists, so every word it suggests is one the game will actually accept. Keep ‘Common words only’ ticked to see just the everyday words Wordle draws its answers from, or untick it to include every valid guess. Beyond the word list, it recommends your best next guess two ways: the most likely answer by letter frequency, or a maximum-information probe ranked by Shannon entropy (the same information-theory method expert solvers use), with the expected bits of information shown. It also visualises which letters remain and where they're most likely to land.

Frequently asked questions

How do I use the Wordle solver?
Type your guessed word onto the board, then tap each tile to colour it: grey for a letter that isn't in the word, yellow for a correct letter in the wrong spot, and green for a correct letter in the right spot. Press ‘+ Add guess’ for each guess you've made. The remaining words, best next guess and letter stats all update instantly.
What is the ‘best next guess’?
In ‘Possible answers’ mode it's the remaining word most likely to be the answer, by letter frequency. Switch to ‘Any word · max info’ and it ranks every valid word by information theory (Shannon entropy), suggesting the guess that splits the remaining answers most evenly and showing the expected bits of information it reveals — even if that word can't be the answer itself.
Does it handle repeated letters?
Yes. Colour the tiles exactly as Wordle shows them — including a letter that appears both green and grey when it occurs twice — and the solver applies the correct minimum and maximum counts for every letter.
My game rejected a suggested word — why?
Different Wordle-style games use different dictionaries. This solver uses Wordle's official lists, but some clones (Framedl, Wordle variants and others) accept a smaller set, so a word that's a valid guess in Wordle can still be rejected elsewhere. Keep ‘Common words only’ ticked: it limits every suggestion to the ~2,300 everyday answer words that virtually all versions accept. Only untick it if your game allows rarer, Scrabble-style words like KANES or KNAPS.
Can I solve 4, 6, 7 or 8-letter words?
Yes — use the ‘Letters’ selector above the board to switch between 4 and 8 letters. Five is the default for classic Wordle; the other lengths are handy for Wordle variants and other word games, and each has its own common-words filter.
Is this the official Wordle?
No — WordSleuth is an independent helper and isn't affiliated with Wordle or The New York Times. It simply filters a dictionary against the clues you enter.
