Wordle Solver: Find Your Next Guess

Stuck on a Wordle? Type the words you tried, tap each tile to set its colour (grey, yellow or green) and the Wordle solver lists every word that still fits, plus the best next guesses. It never shows today’s answer unless your clues point to it.

Click a tile and type a letter. Click a filled tile to change its colour: grey = not in the word, yellow = in the word, wrong place, green = right place.

How to use

  1. Type the first word you guessed into the top row. Press a tile to give each letter the colour Wordle showed: grey, yellow or green.
  2. The list of possible words and the best next guesses update straight away.
  3. Click a suggested word to add it as your next guess row, play it in the game, then colour its tiles.
  4. Repeat until one word is left. Use Start over for a new puzzle.

How the Wordle solver works

For every word in our list of common English five-letter words, the solver works out what colours Wordle would have shown if that word were the answer, and keeps only the words that match all of your rows. This handles repeated letters properly: for example, a second E in your guess can be grey even if the answer has one E.

Best next guess

The suggestions are the words that use the letters most common among the words still left, in the positions where they are most common, with a small bonus for different letters. That splits the remaining words as evenly as possible and gets you to the answer in fewer tries. When only one or two words remain it simply shows them.

A note on the word list

The list holds about 3,000 common five-letter words, so a rare answer may be missing. If the solver says nothing fits, double-check your colours. For more ways to search, try the 5-letter words finder or the anagram solver.

Frequently asked questions

Does this solver show today’s Wordle answer?

No. It only filters words using the clues you enter. It does not know the daily answer, so you can use it for hints without spoilers.

Does it work for Wordle clones and other languages?

It works for any five-letter game that uses the same grey, yellow and green rules, but the word list is English only.

Why does it say no words match?

Either a tile colour is wrong, or the answer is a rare word that is not in our list of common words. Check your rows first.

How does it pick the best guess?

It scores words by how common their letters are among the words that still fit, so the guess removes as many options as possible.
