How the Wordle solver works
After a guess or two, Wordle gives you three kinds of clue. A green tile means the letter is correct and in the right spot. A yellow tile means the letter is in the answer but somewhere else. A gray tile means the letter isn't in the word at all. Type those clues into the boxes above and the solver filters more than 12,000 five-letter words down to only the ones that still fit — usually just a handful, ranked common words first.
Best Wordle starting words
Strong openers pack in common letters and a couple of vowels so they turn up clues fast. Click any word to learn it, then come back and enter what you found.
A quick example
Say you opened with CRANE and the C turned green, the R turned yellow, and A, N, E went gray. Put c in the first green box, type r in the yellow field, and type ane in the gray field. The solver instantly lists every remaining possibility — words like crick, cribs, or chirp — so you can pick your next guess with confidence.
