What is Wordle?
Wordle is a daily word puzzle game that took the internet by storm in late 2021. Created by Josh Wardle (yes, the name is a pun!), the game was later acquired by The New York Times. Each day, millions of players worldwide try to guess a single 5-letter word in six attempts or fewer.
The game provides feedback after each guess using colored tiles:
- 🟩 Green = Correct letter in the correct position
- 🟨 Yellow = Correct letter but wrong position
- ⬛ Gray = Letter is not in the word
Our Wordle Solver helps you find possible answers based on the clues you've gathered. Enter your green, yellow, and gray letters, and we'll show you all matching 5-letter words from the Wordle dictionary.
Best Wordle Starting Words
Your first guess should maximize information by using common letters. Expert players have analyzed letter frequency and recommend these openers:
Pro Tip: Use a different second word that includes letters not in your first guess. If you start with CRANE, try STILO or POUTY to cover more letters.
Wordle Strategy Guide
Master Wordle with these proven strategies:
- Start with a vowel-rich word — Most 5-letter words contain 2-3 vowels. Identify them early.
- Avoid repeating gray letters — Once a letter is gray, never use it again (obvious but often forgotten under pressure).
- Use yellow letters in NEW positions — If a letter is yellow in position 3, try it in positions 1, 2, 4, or 5.
- Consider common letter patterns — Endings like -IGHT, -OUND, -TION are frequent in 5-letter words.
- Watch for double letters — Words like SLEEP, FLOOD, CARRY have repeating letters that can be tricky.
- Don't panic on attempt 5-6 — You still have guesses! Use our solver to see remaining possibilities.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Wordle use every 5-letter word?
No! Wordle uses a curated list of about 2,300 common words as possible answers. Obscure words like XYLEM or QUAFF are in the guess dictionary but won't be daily answers.
Can Wordle answers have repeated letters?
Yes! Words like SLEEP, FLOOD, ABBEY, and SISSY have appeared as Wordle answers. If a letter appears twice and you guess it once in the wrong spot, it shows yellow—not gray.
Is using a Wordle solver cheating?
That's up to you! Some use solvers to learn strategy, others to maintain streaks. The game is for fun—play however brings you joy. Our solver can also give hints without revealing the answer.
What time does Wordle reset?
Wordle resets at midnight in your local timezone. This means players in different regions get different puzzles briefly, but everyone plays the same 24-hour puzzle eventually.
What's the hardest Wordle answer ever?
Notoriously difficult words include PARER, WATCH, FOYER, and LYNCH. Words with uncommon letter combinations or multiple valid alternatives tend to cause the most fails.
How many 5-letter words are there?
There are approximately 12,000+ valid 5-letter English words, but Wordle only uses about 2,300 common words as answers. Our solver includes the full Wordle-valid dictionary.
