Wordle helper
Enter what your guesses taught you, green, yellow and grey, and see every five letter word that still fits.
Guide
How to use it
- Put each green letter in its confirmed position on the top row.
- Type each yellow letter in the position where it came up yellow. You can stack several letters in one box.
- List every grey letter in the bottom box, in any order.
- The list of possible answers updates live. Start with likely answers, switch to all valid words if it empties.
- Tap a word to copy it, then try it in your puzzle.
Examples
Worked example
Greens R, A and E in positions 2, 3 and 5, with S, L, O, T, D, U and I all grey. Five likely answers remain: FRAME, GRACE, BRAKE, GRAVE and BRAVE.
The same clues against all valid words give 14 candidates, adding rarer words like CRAKE, BRAZE and GRAZE. Useful when the everyday options are exhausted.
Typing R in the first yellow box means the word contains an R that is not the first letter. That single clue removes thousands of candidates on its own.
Method
How it works
The helper walks a list of five letter words and keeps only those matching all three clue types: greens must sit in their positions, yellows must appear somewhere else and greys must be absent. A grey letter that is also green or yellow elsewhere is treated as a duplicate limit, the way Wordle itself colours repeats.
Likely answers come from a frequency-based list of common words. All valid words uses the full 8,000-strong five letter section of the public domain ENABLE list. Filtering happens on your device and your puzzle state never leaves the page.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is this the official Wordle answer list?
No. The likely answers list is a frequency-based set of common five letter words that overlaps heavily with real answers. Switch to all valid words when your clues rule out the common ones.
How do I enter yellow letters?
Type each yellow letter in the position where it appeared yellow. That tells the helper the word contains that letter but not in that spot, which is exactly what yellow means.
What is a good starting word?
Words rich in common letters: RAISE, SLATE, CRANE and ADIEU are popular. There is no single best word, what matters is covering E, A, R, S, T and similar high frequency letters early.
How does it handle repeated letters?
If a letter is grey in one square but green or yellow elsewhere, the helper keeps it, since Wordle greys the extra copy. A letter grey everywhere is excluded completely.
Does it work for hard mode?
Yes. Every suggestion respects all your greens and yellows, which is exactly what hard mode requires of your next guess.
Is using a helper cheating?
That is between you and your streak. Many people use it after a game to see what else fitted, or as a nudge on guess five rather than a first resort.
Is my puzzle sent anywhere?
No. Filtering happens in your browser against a local word list. Nothing you enter leaves your device.
