How the Solver Works
Green Letters
Enter green letters in their exact position. If 'R' is green in spot 3, put it there. This locks the character in place.
Yellow Letters
Add yellow letters separately. These are correct letters in the wrong spot. Our tool tests all other possibilities.
Gray Letters
Type gray letters you've already tried. The solver removes any word containing these to narrow your search.
Click "Solve Wordle" and get results ranked from most common to least common words. The solver checks 15,000+ words in milliseconds and shows you only valid answers.
Bonus: Each result includes the definition so you can learn new words while you play. We make sure you win while expanding your vocabulary.

Letter Frequency: Which Letters Win Games
Numbers don't lie. After tracking 1,600+ Wordle puzzles, certain letters show up way more than others. Knowing this changes how you play.
The Most Common Letters in Wordle Answers:
E appears in 1,230 different words (46% of all puzzles). If your guess doesn't have E, you're missing almost half the possible answers. A comes second at 975 words (39%). R shows up 897 times (36%).
Pro Tip: Notice something? CRANE contains five of the top ten letters. That's why it wins so often.
Letters That Rarely Appear:
These letters are last-resort guesses. Don't waste early tries on them unless you have strong evidence.
Position Matters More Than You Think
Letter frequency changes based on where it sits in the word. E loves position 5, S dominates position 1, and A owns position 2.
Only 5% of Wordle answers start with vowels.
Position 2 loves vowels. If not here, check pos 3 or 4.
Still vowel-heavy but more balanced. Where U hides.
E dominates again. N and S create common endings like -EN, -ES.
E ends nearly 1 in 4 words. Y is the 2nd most common ending.
Expert Blueprint: How to Use This Data
Convert statistics into winning streaks with these three foundational rules.
The "CRANE" Opening
Start with words containing E, A, and R in common positions. CRANE puts R in position 2, A in position 3, and E in position 5. Even if none turn green, you've tested three high-probability positions.
The "STOLE" Follow-up
Second guess should target position 1 and position 4 if your first guess didn't. STOLE is perfect—it covers S in position 1, O in position 2, L in position 4, and E in position 5.
The 2% Exclusion Rule
Avoid guessing words with Q, Z, X, J until you've exhausted common letter options. These letters appear in under 2% of answers combined. Don't waste early tries on them.
Vowel Distribution Patterns
Your first guess should always assume 2 vowels. This accounts for the vast majority of Wordle solutions.
Adjustment Strategy: If you find 0 or 1 vowel after two guesses, pivot to rare single-vowel words like TRYST or LYMPH.
Consonant Clusters to Remember
These letter pairs appear together constantly. Once you spot one, try the partner immediately.
Hardest and Easiest Wordle Puzzles Ever
The Anatomy of Difficulty
🛑 What Makes a Wordle Hard?
Multiple valid answers that fit the same pattern. If you have _ATCH, you're stuck between 7 possible guesses (BATCH, CATCH, WATCH, etc.).
NYMPH uses Y as the only vowel and includes rare letters M, P, H together which are hard to predict.
Words like MUMMY or VIVID create confusion because players often avoid testing the same letter twice.
Words like KNOLL or GNOME start with silent letters that often waste early guesses.
Formal or technical words like FOYER or CAULK aren't everyday vocabulary for most people.
✅ What Makes a Wordle Easy?
Common words like FIELD, BREAD, and SMILE appear in casual conversation all the time.
If you get _IELD, only FIELD and WIELD fit. That's a 50/50 guess instead of a 1-in-7 nightmare.
Five unique letters give you more information per guess, allowing for faster elimination.
Recognizing pairs like TH, ST, or CH helps you visualize and solve the word much faster.

15 Wordle Variations You Need to Try
Solved today's Wordle already? Don't stop there. Dozens of spin-offs exist, each with unique twists.
Multiple Wordle Games Simultaneously
Two Wordle grids at once. You get 7 guesses to solve both. Each guess applies to both boards simultaneously. Strategy changes completely.
Four Wordles at the same time. Requires serious planning. Your first two guesses should cover 10 unique common letters.
Eight Wordles playing together. Thirteen guesses to solve all. Expert-level difficulty. Most players need 30+ minutes.
One thousand Wordles at once. Not a joke. You get 1,005 guesses. Completing it takes 2-3 hours.
Different Word Lengths
Four-letter words instead of five. Great for kids or quick games. Only takes 2-3 minutes to solve.
Six or seven-letter words. Harder because the word pool expands massively. Eight guesses allowed for Septle.
The game actively works against you. It changes the answer based on your guesses. You're competing against an adversarial algorithm.
Themed Variations
Math equations instead of words. Guess the equation like 5+7=12. Uses numbers and symbols.
Geography guessing. See a country outline. Wrong guesses show distance and direction to the correct answer.
Music identification. Listen to a song intro snippet. Each wrong guess adds more audio time.
Same mechanics, but only rude/crude words. Mature audiences only. Expand your obscene vocabulary.
Only words related to Taylor Swift. Lyrics, album names, and references. Created by fans for fans.
Reverse Wordle. You get the final answer but must figure out the guesses that led to that color pattern.
Five-digit prime numbers instead of words. Guess primes like 11213. Perfect for math nerds.
The answer is always a common password. Tests how well you know bad security practices like ADMIN or GUEST.
Which Variation Should You Try?
Most variations are free. Check Word Finder Tips for solvers for Dordle, Quordle, and other multi-board games.

Why Advanced Filters Matter
Basic guessing works until you hit puzzle 300 or 400. Then you encounter situations where 10+ words fit your clues. Advanced filters cut that down to 2-3 options.
The _IGHT Trap: If you have green I, G, H, T in positions 2-5, these 10 words are possible:
Systematic Approach: Use letter frequency. L appears most commonly in position 1. Guess LIGHT first. If wrong, try MIGHT (M is second most common). This beats random guessing.
Mobile-Friendly Interface
Adjusts automatically for thumb typing. Tap any word to see its definition or copy it to your clipboard for instant pasting into Wordle.
The Story Behind Wordle: Bedroom Project to Phenomenon
Wordle didn't start as a business. It started as a gift.
Built for his partner Palak Shah. No ads, no subs, just one puzzle a day. 90 people played on day one.
Players shared results via colored emoji squares. Daily players hit 300,000 by New Year's Eve.
Hit 2 million players. NYT purchased the game for "low seven figures" (reported $1-2M) on Jan 31.
The NYT Era (Post-2022)
The Times promised to keep Wordle free forever. As of January 2026, they have kept that promise.
What Changed
- Removed 200 obscure/controversial words (AGORA, PUPAL, LYNCH).
- Integrated into NYT Games app alongside Spelling Bee & Connections.
- Added local stats tracking for streaks and guess distribution.
- Introduced "Hard Mode" as a togglable gameplay option.
What Stayed the Same
- Still one puzzle per day with no premium plays.
- Same simple interface without feature bloat.
- Same 6-guess limit and iconic color system.
- Common English vocabulary remains the primary focus.
Current Status & Controversies
Despite initial fears, average difficulty dropped slightly under NYT ownership. Today, over 10 million people play daily. British players still face American spelling (HUMOR vs HUMOUR), but the game's core joy remains unchanged.
Josh Wardle traveled the world on his earnings, happy his simple gift brings daily joy to millions.
How to Never Lose Your Wordle Streak Again
Streaks matter. Breaking a 200+ day streak over one tough puzzle hurts. Here's how to protect yours.
Use the Solver Wisely
- Don't use it on guess 1. Try on your own first to build the skill.
- Use it on guess 4 or 5 when you're stuck. Getting a hint beats breaking your streak.
- Think of it as insurance, not a shortcut. Protect your consistent play.
Consistency is Key
- Pick the same time each day—Morning coffee, lunch, or bed—to prevent forgetting.
- Set a phone reminder (e.g., 7 AM) to ensure you never skip a day.
- Vacation: Play before you leave or use archive mode to stay sharp.
Backup Your Statistics

What Breaks a Streak
- Not playing at all on a given day.
- Switching devices without transferring data.
- Rare browser updates clearing local storage.
- Trying once and giving up without submitting 6 guesses.
What Doesn't Break It
- Failing to solve (if you used all 6 guesses).
- Playing at 11:55 PM and again at 12:05 AM.
- Using a solver for help when stuck.
