What Is a Wordle Solver?
A Wordle solver filters a local list of about 10,000 five-letter words against the green, yellow, and gray clues you have already collected — and suggests a next guess from that list. It is not the official Wordle answer list.
You enter each guess you have made and mark the letters as green (correct position), yellow (in the word but wrong spot), or gray (not in the word at all). The solver then filters the dictionary and shows you every word that still matches, so you can narrow options without guessing blindly. Matches are from this local list, not NYT official answers.
This solver runs entirely in your browser. The dictionary loads once, then filtering and scoring run in the browser. Tool inputs stay in your browser. The site uses aggregate Google Analytics. Beyond filtering, it analyzes letter frequency across the remaining possibilities and suggests the optimal next guess that will eliminate the most words in one move.
How to Use the Wordle Solver
- Enter your Wordle guess: Type a five-letter word into the first row of the grid. Each letter appears in its own tile, just like the real Wordle board.
- Mark each letter's color: Click each letter tile to cycle through gray, green, or yellow. Match the feedback Wordle gave you for that guess.
- Review filtered results: The solver instantly filters the dictionary and shows how many words still match. It also suggests the best next guess based on which word covers the most common remaining letters.
- Repeat until solved: Enter additional guesses on new rows and mark their colors. Each round narrows the possibilities further until only one word remains.
Best Wordle Starting Words
A strong opener packs common letters into different positions to eliminate as many words as possible on turn one. These are consistently top-rated starters:
| Starter | Why it works |
|---|---|
| CRANE | Covers C, R, A, N, E — five of the most frequent Wordle letters. |
| SLATE | Common consonants plus two high-value vowels (A, E). |
| ADIEU | Four vowels in one guess — pins down vowel positions fast. |
| TRACE | Frequent consonants T and R with two reliable vowels. |
Who Is This For?
- Daily Wordle players stuck on guess four or five who want a strategic nudge rather than giving up and breaking their streak.
- Competitive Wordle enthusiasts who want to study optimal solving strategies and understand which words eliminate the most possibilities per guess.
- Players of Wordle variants like Dordle, Quordle, and Octordle who need to solve multiple boards simultaneously and cannot afford wasted guesses.

Common Use Cases
Saving your Wordle streak: You are on guess five with only two clues and the clock is ticking. Enter what you know, and the solver shows you every word that fits. Pick the suggestion and protect that 200-day streak.
Learning Wordle strategy: New players can use the solver to understand why certain opening words are better than others. By entering a starter like CRANE and seeing how many words remain after different color patterns, you build intuition for which letters matter most.
Solving Wordle variants: Games like Quordle give you four boards at once with nine total guesses. The solver helps you find words that cover the most ground across all boards, especially when you need one word that satisfies constraints from multiple puzzles.
Post-game analysis: After finishing the daily Wordle, enter your guesses and colors to see what the solver would have suggested at each step. Compare your path to the optimal path and sharpen your skills over time.
