Wordle solver
Feed it the tiles you already have and it returns every 5-letter word still in play. Greens lock a letter to a slot, yellows say the letter is in the word but not in that slot, greys take letters off the board.
More than one yellow in the same slot? Type them together, like RT.
A letter that is also green or yellow above stays in play, exactly like Wordle treats repeats.
How to use it mid-puzzle
Work through your guesses in order. Every green goes in its slot, every yellow goes under the slot it appeared in, and everything left over goes in the grey box. Clues from different guesses stack, so the list shrinks fast.
Putting a yellow letter in the right column is what separates a two-word shortlist from a hundred-word list. If you only know the letter is in there somewhere, drop it in any empty slot you have not tried it in.
When the list is still long, pick a result that tests letters you have never played rather than the one that feels most likely. You lose a guess and buy information, which is usually the better trade.
Guessing SPEED when the answer has one E gets you one coloured E and one grey E. Enter both exactly as shown. The solver reads the green and yellow rows first, so the grey copy will not delete the letter you need.
How the constraint logic works
Every Wordle board is a set of constraints, and solving is filtering. A green tile is a positional equality: slot 3 must be A. A yellow tile is two constraints in one, an inclusion (the word contains R) plus a positional inequality (slot 2 is not R). A grey tile is an exclusion (the word contains no P at all). Apply all of them to a 5-letter dictionary and whatever survives is your candidate set.
The awkward case is repeats. Wordle grades letter by letter, so guessing a word with two Ts against an answer holding one T gives you a coloured T and a grey T. Read naively, that grey says "no T anywhere" and quietly removes the right answer. This solver resolves the conflict the way the game does: any letter you marked green or yellow is protected, and only letters that appear nowhere in your green or yellow rows are excluded outright.
Results are sorted by how many distinct common letters a word uses, then alphabetically, so words built from the letters that dominate real answers surface first. Everything runs in your browser against a static word list, with no server call in the loop, which is why the list updates the moment you change a tile.

Common questions
What does the yellow row actually do?
A yellow tile tells you two things at once: the letter is in the answer, and it is not in the slot you tried it in. Most solvers only use the first half. Type the letter under the slot where you saw it yellow and this solver applies both rules, so a yellow F in slot 2 keeps every word containing F while dropping every word with F in slot 2.
A letter came back grey but I know it is in the word. What do I enter?
Enter it in grey anyway. When a letter appears more than once in your guess, Wordle can mark one copy green or yellow and the other grey, which means "no more of this letter". This solver checks your green and yellow rows first, so a letter listed in both places is never thrown out of the whole word. It only excludes letters that appear nowhere else.
How are the results ordered?
By how many different common letters each word uses, then alphabetically. Words built from E, A, R, I, O, T, N, S, L and C sit at the top because those letters carry most 5-letter answers, which makes the first few results both likely answers and strong information-gathering guesses.
Does it know today’s answer?
No, and that is deliberate. The solver searches a plain 5-letter dictionary against the clues you give it. If you want the actual answer for today, our Wordle page keeps hints and the solution behind a tap so nothing spoils by accident.
Why do some results look like words the game would never accept?
Our dictionary is broader than the puzzle answer list, so obscure but valid words show up. That is useful when you want a guess that burns through untested letters, and easy to skim past when you are hunting the final answer. Nothing here is sent anywhere: the search runs in your browser.
