5 Letter Wordle Solver

What is a 5 letter Wordle solver?

The daily Wordle gives you six tries to find one five-letter word. After each guess, every tile turns green, yellow or gray. A 5 letter Wordle solver reads those colors for you and works out which words are still possible. Think of it as a very fast, very patient friend who knows 6,405 five-letter words by heart.

Our solver doesn't just match letters. For every word in its list, it asks: “If this were the answer, would my guesses have shown exactly these colors?” Only words that pass that test stay on the list. Then it sorts them so the most likely answers appear first, and suggests a next guess that rules out as many words as possible.

How to use the 5 letter Wordle solver

1. Play your first guess in Wordle. Not sure what to start with? RAISE, SLATE, ARISE are our best-tested openers.
2. Type the same word into the box above and press Add guess.
3. Tap each tile to copy your colors. One tap for yellow, two for green, three to go back to gray.
4. Pick your next word from the ranked list or the suggested guesses, play it, and repeat.

An example, step by step

Here's an example game where the answer is NAIVE. The word counts come straight from the solver:

• After SLATE: the A is yellow and the E is green. That leaves 39 possible words out of 2,744.
• After PRONE: the N is yellow and the E is green again. Only 4 words fit: ANIME, DANCE, MANGE, NAIVE.
• Third guess: NAIVE, one of those four. Solved in three.

That's typical. Two well-chosen guesses usually cut thousands of five-letter words down to a handful.

What makes 5-letter Wordle tricky

• Repeated letters. 923 of our 2,744 likely answers (34%) use a letter twice, like SPOON or SKILL. People often forget to try them.
• Word traps. Some endings fit lots of words. _ATCH alone fits 7: BATCH, CATCH, HATCH, LATCH, MATCH, PATCH, WATCH. Guessing one at a time can cost you the game, so the solver may suggest a filler word instead.
• Common endings. 481 likely answers end in E. Endings like -ER, -LY and -CH show up often too.

The most common letters in each position

These are the letters that show up most often in each spot across our likely five-letter answers. The solver uses patterns like these to rank words:
