DAILY WORDLE · #1975HOW THE ALGORITHM WORKS
Mastering the Rules Behind the Colors
Every completed Wordle row translates into a mathematical system of constraints. Our solver evaluates every five-letter candidate against all rows simultaneously.
Position-Shift Yellow Letters
A yellow tile proves the letter exists in the answer, but NOT in this position. Words lacking the letter or having it in this column are removed.
Filter with Gray Exclusions
A gray tile means that letter does not appear in the word. When paired with green or yellow copies of the same letter, it caps the exact duplicate count.
↻
How Repeated Letters Work in Wordle
Consider guessing SPEED when the answer is ELDER. The first E turns yellow (because E is in the word), the second E turns green (exact match in slot 4), and any third E would turn gray. Gray letters only eliminate an entire letter when there are zero green or yellow copies in the same guess.
DATA-DRIVEN PUZZLE MATH
The Science of Wordle Starting Words
Not all five-letter words are created equal. Information theory proves that testing high-frequency consonants and vowels on turn one eliminates up to 95% of candidates.
Top 10 Letters in 5-Letter Words
| Rank | Letter | Frequency | Best Starting Position |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | E | 12.3% | Position 4 & 5 (e.g. TRACE) |
| 2 | A | 10.1% | Position 2 & 3 (e.g. SLATE) |
| 3 | R | 8.9% | Position 2 & 5 (e.g. CRANE) |
| 4 | O | 7.5% | Position 2 & 3 (e.g. ROAST) |
| 5 | T | 7.2% | Position 1 & 4 (e.g. TRACE) |
| 6 | I | 6.8% | Position 2 & 3 (e.g. TRAIN) |
| 7 | S | 6.7% | Position 1 (e.g. STARE) |
| 8 | L | 6.5% | Position 2 & 5 (e.g. SLATE) |
| 9 | C | 5.1% | Position 1 (e.g. CRANE) |
| 10 | N | 5.0% | Position 4 & 5 (e.g. CRANE) |
Top 4 Starting Words Compared
S L A T E#1 Ranked
Tests 3 top consonants (S, L, T) and the two most common vowels (A, E). Leaves an average of only 60 candidate words remaining.
C R A N ERunner-Up
Tests high-utility consonant cluster C-R-N. Highly favored by WordleBot as a balanced offensive opener.
T R A C ETop Tier
Similar to CRANE with T in position 1. Frequently leads to immediate green hits on common English verb endings.
A D I E UVowel Heavy
Tests 4 vowels immediately. However, consonants carry more positional information, so ADIEU leaves more candidates than SLATE.

Pro Strategies & Hard Mode Playbook
A great Wordle strategy avoids lucky guesses and focuses on eliminating as many letters as possible on turns 1, 2, and 3.
Read all Wordle strategy guides01
Beware of the Rhyming Trap: Words ending in _IGHT (FIGHT, LIGHT, MIGHT, NIGHT, RIGHT, SIGHT, TIGHT) can burn 6 guesses if you guess them one by one. In Normal Mode, use a "burner word" like FLAMS or SPORT to test 5 candidate consonants in a single turn.
02
Never Repeat Known Gray Letters: Unless you are playing Hard Mode and forced to reuse confirmed tiles, every guess should introduce 3 to 5 new letters until you have narrowed the pool down to fewer than 5 words.
03
Check Unresolved Letters: When several candidates remain (e.g. BOUND, FOUND, ROUND, WOUND), look at what distinguishes them (B, F, R, W) and play a word containing as many of those distinguishing letters as possible.

Wordle Solver FAQs
Clear, direct answers about how our solver operates, dictionary accuracy, daily hints, and privacy guarantees.
How do I use this Wordle Solver?
Enter any five-letter guess into Row 1. Tap each letter tile to match the color feedback from your Wordle game: Green for correct letter in the right spot, Yellow for right letter in the wrong spot, and Gray for letters not in the word. You can also click 'All Gray' if none of your letters hit. Click 'Find matching words' to calculate all dictionary candidates that satisfy all combined clue constraints simultaneously.
How does the solver handle repeated letters?
Wordle scores exact green matches first, then assigns yellow matches from the remaining copies in the target answer. Gray duplicates establish an exact maximum count. For example, if you guess 'SPEED' and the first E is yellow while the second E is gray, the solver knows the solution contains exactly one E (not in spot 3). Our algorithm guarantees duplicate constraints are never violated.
What do the Wordle tile colors mean?
Green means the letter is correct and locked in that exact slot. Yellow means the letter is present in the solution but belongs in a different column. Gray means that specific copy is excluded from the word (or limits the duplicate count).
What are the mathematically best Wordle starting words?
Computer analysis of letter frequencies across the 2,309 official Wordle answers ranks SLATE, CRANE, TRACE, CARTE, and SALET as the highest-performing opening words. They test the most common vowels (E, A) and premier consonants (S, T, R, L, C, N), narrowing candidate pools faster than vowel-only openers like ADIEU.
What is the 5-letter pattern finder?
The pattern finder allows you to search the 14,855-word five-letter candidate list using wildcard patterns (e.g. C?A?E), mandatory letters that must appear anywhere, and letters that must be excluded. It is ideal when you want to explore possibilities without inputting a full 6-row game history.
Is this Wordle Solver free and private?
Yes, 100% free with no sign-ups or ads tracking. The entire 14,855-word five-letter candidate list is loaded into your browser once, and all filtering calculations execute strictly client-side on your device. None of your guesses, boards, or game data are ever transmitted to a remote server.
What is the difference between Wordle Normal Mode and Hard Mode?
In Normal Mode, you can guess words that don't include previously revealed green or yellow clues (known as 'burner guesses' to test 5 new consonants). In Hard Mode, any revealed hints MUST be used in all subsequent guesses: green letters must stay in their spots, and yellow letters must be included.
Where do daily Wordle hints and answers come from?
Daily puzzle guides are verified against official date-stamped puzzle records. Clues, vowel counts, and starter analyses are revealed progressively with spoiler protections so you can get unstuck without ruining the fun.
