ABOUT THE PROJECT
A clearer way to solve word puzzles.
Wordle-Solver.Help brings together a browser-based clue solver, a five-letter word finder, and practical explanations for people who want to understand the puzzle rather than simply guess.
WHAT WE BUILD
Useful tools, explained in plain language.
The solver accepts the guesses already played and the green, yellow, and gray feedback shown by the game. It combines those clues and filters a reference list of five-letter words. The separate word finder lets readers search by fixed positions, required letters, and excluded letters.
The newsroom publishes strategy articles and date-matched daily puzzle explainers. Daily answers are kept behind a spoiler control so readers can choose when to reveal them.
EDITORIAL STANDARDS
We distinguish verified facts from solving advice.
- Daily puzzle data: each daily article is built from a date-stamped record and validates the puzzle date, five-letter solution, and puzzle number.
- Letter clues: vowel count, repeated-letter status, and consonant-vowel patterns are calculated from the stored answer.
- Definitions: dictionary definitions are powered by Princeton University's WordNet lexical database. When an entry is available, it is attributed directly and appears cleanly after the spoiler answer reveal. Missing dictionary data is never replaced with an invented definition.
- Solver results: the candidate list is powered by a focused list of 14,855 five-letter candidate words for clue filtering. This is not the full English dictionary and is kept separate from the broader WordNet and SCOWL reference index.
- Updates: articles and generated share graphics are reviewed through their underlying data and code, not manually retyped for every date.
PRIVACY & DATA
Your guesses stay in your browser.
The five-letter candidate filtering happens locally in the browser after the solver word list is loaded. The solver does not send your guess history or tile colors to a game service. The site does not require an account to use the tool. Hosting logs and analytics may still process technical visit information as explained in the Privacy Policy.
Daily puzzle records are used to generate public article content and graphics. They are separate from the private guesses you enter into the solver.
How the site's word data is organized
The five-letter candidate list is built for the mechanics of the puzzle: it gives the solver a manageable set of possible guesses to filter. The separate dictionary combines more than 145,000 WordNet headwords with additional American English forms from SCOWL. WordNet senses are displayed where a definition exists; other spelling-list records are labelled instead of receiving invented definitions.
This separation keeps the solver relevant while giving readers a broader place to look up spelling and meaning. Visit the English dictionary, explore five-letter word lists, or read the solving guides.
About Wordle-Solver.Help FAQs
Is Wordle-Solver.Help the official Wordle game?
No. Wordle-Solver.Help is an independent puzzle-help resource and is not affiliated with or endorsed by The New York Times Company.
How are the solver and dictionary word lists different?
The solver uses a focused five-letter candidate list designed for puzzle filtering. The English dictionary is a broader reference that combines WordNet definitions with SCOWL American English spellings and forms. They serve different purposes and are not interchangeable.
How is daily puzzle information checked?
Daily editions are generated from date-stamped puzzle records. The build process checks the recorded date, answer length and puzzle number before the article and its derived letter facts are published.
Are solver guesses stored by the site?
The candidate filtering is performed in the browser. The solver does not intentionally send your guess rows or tile colors to a remote puzzle service. Hosting and analytics may still process technical visit information as described in the Privacy Policy.
