How Our Wordle Solver Works

Our Wordle Solver tool takes the guesswork out of your daily puzzle by using probability and linguistic patterns to identify the most likely solutions. Here’s how to use it:

1. Enter Your Current Progress

  • Correct (Green) Letters: Place known correct letters (green tiles in Wordle) in their exact positions.
  • Misplaced (Yellow) Letters: Add letters you know are in the word but in the wrong position. These are highlighted in Yellow in Wordle.
  • Excluded (Gray) Letters: Enter eliminated letters that don’t appear in the word.

2. Get Instant Results

Once you click “Submit” our tool will generate a list of all possible words that match your constraints. You can then pick from these words to determine your next guess. You will also be shown your Next Best Guess.

3. Refine Your Strategy

After each Wordle guess, return to our solver with your updated information. The tool becomes increasingly precise as you eliminate possibilities.

Example

Here's an example for the word "CROSS" while using our Wordle Maker:

  • You opened with SLATE and learned the S is in the word but not in first position (yellow), while L, A, T, and E are all out (gray).
  • Your second guess, MINOR, turned the O and the R yellow — both in the word, both in the wrong spot — with M, I, and N gray. Staring at the grid, nothing comes.

  • Feed the clues in to our solver: an S, an O, and an R are all in the word but none in the positions tried, and a pile of letters are dead.
  • The solver returns a short list of words that fit, and the Best Next Guess points to the one most likely to pin down where those three letters go.

  • You use the word "DROSS" for guess 3 and it tells you that the R, O, S, and S are in the right places.
  • You look at the common solutions again after updating the tool and decide to go with CROSS.

  • One guess later: CROSS.

Strategic Tips for Wordle Success

Even with our solver, understanding Wordle strategy improves your gameplay:

First Word Selection Is Critical

Your opening word determines how quickly you can narrow down possibilities. The best starting words contain:

  • Common vowels (A, E, I, O)
  • Frequent consonants (R, S, T, L, N)
  • No repeated letters (to maximize information)

Expert players often start with words like "ROAST," "SLATE," "CRANE," "AUDIO," or "RAISE" to identify multiple common letters early.

Play the Probability Game

After your first guess:

  • Prioritize confirming vowels - nearly every five-letter word contains at least one
  • Test common consonant combinations (TH, ST, CH, etc.)
  • Focus on letter positions - the same letter in a different position provides valuable information

FAQs

  • Is using a Wordle solver cheating? Think of it less as a cheat and more as a reference tool. Most people reach for it after they're already stuck, to rescue a streak or to learn a word they didn't know. If you'd rather keep your solve unassisted, save it for after you've made your own guesses.
  • Does this work with the NYT Wordle? Yes. It uses the same word-list logic as the official Wordle at nytimes.com, so it works for the daily puzzle.
  • Does it work for variants like Quordle, Dordle, or Lingle? It does. Currently the tool only works for 5 letter words. We have a full wordfinder for other length words and a dedicated Quordle Solver.
  • Why isn't a word I entered showing up? Usually, a mismatched tile — a single yellow that should be green can filter out the right answer. Or having the same letter in the "Excluded Letters" list while also in the green or yellow. It's also worth checking the word is in Wordle's accepted dictionary, since some valid English words aren't. We have also excluded some offensive and potentially controversial words.
  • Can I see past Wordle answers? Yes — our [daily Wordle answer archive] keeps a full record of previous solutions.
