Wordle Solver

A quick Wordle rules recap

Wordle gives players six attempts to guess a secret five-letter word, one guess per row. After each guess, every letter is color-coded: green means that letter is correct and in the right position, yellow means the letter is in the word but in a different position, and gray means the letter isn't in the word at all (or, for repeated letters, that no more copies remain to be found). The game, created by software engineer Josh Wardle and later acquired by The New York Times, became a global phenomenon in early 2022 thanks in part to its shareable, spoiler-free results grid.

How to use this Wordle solver

Type your 5 guessed letters into the boxes. Click each box to cycle its color to match what Wordle showed you, then click "Find Words" to see every word in the dictionary consistent with those clues.

How the filtering logic works

The solver treats your colored tiles as a set of constraints: green tiles require that exact letter in that exact position, yellow tiles require the letter to appear somewhere in the word but not in that position, and gray tiles exclude the letter entirely (unless it's already confirmed elsewhere as green or yellow, since Wordle's repeated-letter logic can mark one copy gray while another copy of the same letter is green or yellow). It then filters the full word list down to only the words that satisfy every constraint simultaneously.

Why do I get so many (or so few) results?

Early guesses with few colored tiles will match many possible words that's expected. As you add more green and yellow tiles from later guesses, the list narrows quickly. If you get zero results, double check a gray letter isn't also marked green or yellow elsewhere, since repeated letters are the most common source of a mismatched entry.

Is it "cheating" to use a solver?

That's entirely up to you. Some players reach for a tool like this only after getting stuck, using it as a learning aid to understand why certain words fit; others use it purely to study elimination strategy for future puzzles. Since Wordle has no formal scoring system beyond your own daily streak, there's no official ruling either way use it however fits how you enjoy the game.

FAQ

Does this work for repeated letters?
Yes the solver correctly handles words with repeated letters (like "ERROR" or "LEVEL").

Is my puzzle data sent anywhere?
No the entire word list and solving logic run locally in your browser.

What are the rules of Wordle, exactly?
Wordle gives you six attempts to guess a secret five-letter word. After each guess, each letter turns green if it's correct and in the right position, yellow if it's in the word but the wrong position, or gray if it's not in the word at all.

Is using a solver considered cheating?
That's a personal call. Many players use a solver only after getting stuck partway through, to learn from the logic rather than skip the puzzle entirely, while others use one purely to study word-elimination strategy. Since Wordle has no scoring or leaderboard beyond sharing your grid with friends, there's no official rule against it either way.

How does the filtering logic work?
The solver builds a set of constraints from your colored tiles which letters must appear in which exact position (green), which letters must appear but not in that position (yellow), and which letters must not appear at all (gray) then filters its word list down to only the words satisfying every constraint at once.
