Using the 5-letter words finder for Wordle
After each Wordle guess, put the green letters in the position boxes, the yellow letters in “must contain” and, in the second row, in the position where they were yellow. Put the grey letters in “must NOT contain”. The list narrows to the words that can still be the answer. For automatic colour handling, use the Wordle solver.
Other word games
The same filters help with crosswords (known letters in positions), Scrabble, Words With Friends, Spelling Bee and daily word puzzles. You can switch the length from 4 to 8 letters. To build words from a set of letters you hold, use the anagram solver or the Words Finder.
About the list
Words come from a list of common English words, sorted with the most common first. Rare and archaic words may be missing, and proper names are left out.
Frequently asked questions
How many 5-letter words are in the list?
About 3,200 common English five-letter words. The list is built for everyday word games, so very rare words are left out.
How do I find 5-letter words that start with a letter?
Type the letter (or letters) in “Starts with”. For example, “sh” lists five-letter words beginning with sh.
What does the yellow-letter row do?
It excludes words that have a letter in a position where you already know it does not belong, which is how Wordle’s yellow tiles work.
Can I find longer or shorter words?
Yes, pick a length from 4 to 8 letters at the top.
