The Essential Wordle Tool

The 5 Letter Word Finder filters our 270,000-word database to only 5-letter words matching your available letters and position clues. After CRANE reveals green, yellow, and grey letters, enter your clues here. Filter to 5 letters. After 2 strong guesses covering 10 distinct letters, this tool typically shows under 8 valid remaining answers. Never fail Wordle again.

From 2,300 Answers to 3 in Two Guesses

Enter confirmed (green) letters in exact positions. Include yellow letters elsewhere in your input. Exclude grey letters from your entry. Use ? for completely unknown positions. Filter to 5 letters. Your remaining valid Wordle answers appear instantly — sorted by Scrabble Score or alphabetically.

Key Benefits

01
CRANE + LOUSY Strategy
Two guesses covering C,R,A,N,E,L,O,U,S,Y — 10 of the 26 letters. After these openers, typically under 10 valid Wordle answers remain in our results.
02
Position Filtering
Enter confirmed green letters in their exact positions. The solver enforces these positions in all results. This is more powerful than knowing a letter is present.
03
Grey Letter Exclusion
Grey letters in Wordle mean that letter does not appear in the answer. Excluding them from your input eliminates large portions of the remaining answer pool.
04
Never Run Out of Guesses
6 guesses is enough with strategic play. Our finder ensures you always know your remaining valid answers from guess 3 onward — making 6 guesses more than sufficient.

Can I use ? wildcards in the Wordle solver?
