Wordle Solver

Stuck on today's Wordle? This solver narrows the answer down fast. Enter what you already know — the grey, yellow, and green tiles from your guesses — and it lists every five-letter word that still fits.

Type a letter into each box, then click the box to cycle its colour: grey (not in the word) → yellow (in the word, wrong spot) → green (correct spot).

How to use the Wordle Solver

The solver takes the clues you've already earned and lists every five-letter word that still fits — so you can spend your remaining guesses wisely instead of guessing blind.

Type the five letters from your latest guess into the boxes.
Click each box to set its colour to match Wordle's feedback: grey (not in the word) → yellow (in the word, wrong spot) → green (correct spot). Click again to cycle.
Press Solve to see every possible answer that fits all your clues so far.
Play a strong candidate, then update the boxes with the new feedback and solve again to narrow the list further.

Worked example

Guess 1: CRANE → C grey, R yellow, A grey, N grey, E green.
Set those colours and Solve. The tool keeps only words with E in position 5, an R somewhere other than position 2, and no C, A, or N — narrowing hundreds of options down to a short, winnable list.

Then guess 2 from that list, colour the new tiles, and Solve again — most puzzles collapse to one or two answers by your third guess.

Fun ways to use it at home and at work

Protect your streak: when you're down to your last guess, don't gamble — solve.
Learn better openers: experiment to see which starting words expose the most letters.
Friendly competition: compare who solved in fewer guesses over lunch.
Teach deduction: a fun, visual way to show kids how to reason from clues.

Pro tips & strategy

Open with vowel- and consonant-rich words like crane, slate, audio, or roate to expose the most letters early.
Use guess two to test new letters, even if it can't be the answer — information beats a lucky stab.
Watch for double letters; words like abbey or daddy trip up a lot of players.
When the list is short, pick the candidate built from the most common letters — it's statistically the safer bet.
