About Wordle and Our Solver
Wordle was created in 2021 by Brooklyn software engineer Josh Wardle as a gift for his word-puzzle-loving partner. After the New York Timesacquired it in January 2022 for a reported seven-figure sum, it became a global daily phenomenon with millions of solvers worldwide. The rules are elegantly simple: guess a secret 5-letter word in six tries, using colour-coded feedback after each guess.
Our Wordle Solver uses the same constraint logic that information-theory experts apply: it filters the full list of valid 5-letter words down to only those consistent with every colour clue you've received. As you add more guesses and clues, the candidate list shrinks — often to just 1 or 2 words within 4 guesses.
Understanding the Colour System
🟩 Green
The letter is in the word AND in the correct position. Mark the cell green.
🟨 Yellow
The letter IS in the word but in the WRONG position. Mark it yellow.
⬛ Gray
The letter is NOT in the word at all. Mark it gray to eliminate it.
Best Starting Words for Wordle
Information theory suggests starting with words that cover the most common letters. Studies and simulations consistently rank these openers highest:
- CRANE — covers C, R, A, N, E (high-frequency, no repeats)
- STARE — covers S, T, A, R, E
- AUDIO — covers 4 of 5 vowels in one guess
- RAISE — beloved by many top solvers
- SLATE — eliminates common consonants alongside frequent vowels
After your opener, let the solver's filtered list guide your second guess. Choose a word that tests as many unconfirmed letters as possible — don't just repeat known yellow letters in the same position.
Frequently Asked Questions
❓ How many 5-letter words are in the solver's dictionary?
Over 6,000 five-letter English words — a superset of the official Wordle answer list. The solver shows up to 50 top candidates at a time.
❓ What is the best Wordle strategy?
Maximize information per guess. An ideal second guess tests letters not yet tried. Avoid guessing a word that repeats a confirmed letter in the same position — you gain zero new information from that.
❓ Can I use the solver mid-game without giving away the answer?
Yes — the solver only knows what you tell it. Enter your actual guesses with their colours and let it suggest the next most informative word.
