Wordle Word Finder
Enter what you know — get every word that fits.
Correct letter in the correct position → enter it in the same slot in Correct.
Correct letter, wrong position → enter it in the same slot in Misplaced. Position matters.
Letter not in the word → add it to Absent to filter it out of all suggestions.
What is Wordle?
Wordle is a daily five-letter puzzle where players have six attempts to guess the target word. Each guess returns color feedback: green for correct position, yellow for present-but-wrong-position, and gray for letters not in the word. Simple to learn, but it rewards strategy, vocabulary and letter-frequency awareness.
How the solver works
Enter the letters you know — correct (green), misplaced (yellow) and excluded (gray). The solver filters a curated five-letter dictionary against your constraints and returns every valid candidate, making it fast to pick a high-value next guess.
Best Starting Words for Wordle
A strong opener reveals the most information in one guess. Each word below covers a different vowel/consonant profile.
Best statistical first guess — S, L, T + A, E.
Ideal follow-up — C, R, N, O, Y with zero overlap.
Popular research-based opener — C, R, N + A, E.
Strong mix of common letters, great entropy.
Four vowels in one guess — A, U, I, O.
High-frequency consonants and balanced vowels.
Recommended pair
SALET followed by CRONY gives the highest combined information gain. SALET covers A, E, S, L, T; CRONY follows with C, R, N, O, Y — zero overlap, maximum elimination in two guesses.
Wordle — history & popularity
Wordle was built in 2020 by software engineer Josh Wardle as a personal project for his partner. Released publicly in late 2021, its single-daily-puzzle format spread rapidly through social channels. In early 2022 it was acquired by The New York Times. An ecosystem of solvers, word lists and analytics tools has grown around it ever since.
