Wordle helper
Type your guesses, tap each letter to the colour the game gave it, and see every five-letter word that still fits, likely answers first.

Each tests the letters that five-letter answers use most, in the places they use them.
Likely answers
Also possible: rarer words, plurals and past tenses
From 5,116 five-letter words in a general English list, not the game's own answer list. Likely answers are everyday words that are not plurals or past tenses; the game picks its answers from words like these.
How the helper reads your colours
- Green: that letter is in the answer, in that place.
- Yellow: the letter is in the answer, but somewhere else.
- Grey: the letter is not in the answer. If the same guess also shows it green or yellow, the answer has that letter only as many times as it shows in colour, so "speed" with one green E and one grey E rules out a second E.
Likely answers are everyday words that are not plurals or past tenses, ranked by how common they are in English. Rarer words, plurals and past tenses follow, so nothing that fits is hidden.
