What one guess tells Wordle Solver

How to Use the 6-Letter Wordle Solver
Three steps, then you have your candidate list.
Lock in your green letters
Type each confirmed letter into the position where you got a green tile. These letters are fixed. The solver treats them as a hard constraint and only returns words that have those letters in those exact spots.
Add your yellow letters
Enter letters that showed up yellow in your game. These are letters that are in the word but in the wrong spot. For each yellow letter, pick the position it cannot be in. The solver removes any word that puts the yellow letter where you already tried it.
Add your gray letters
Type every gray letter you have used. These are excluded from the answer entirely. Hit solve, and the tool returns every valid six letter word that fits your greens, yellows, and grays together.
Which 6-Letter Wordle Games This Solver Works For
The six letter Wordle format is used in several games. This solver works for all of them as long as the game uses the green-yellow-gray feedback system:
- Word Hurdle (the most popular six letter Wordle variant)
- 6-letter Wordle custom puzzles and clones
- Squaredle rows and columns that are six letters long
- Hurdle daily archive puzzles
- Six-letter crossword clues where you know a few letters and their positions
If your game uses different colors or feedback rules, enter the letters anyway and treat known positions as green and known-wrong positions as yellow.
Best Starter Words for 6-Letter Wordle
The first guess matters more in six letter Wordle than in five letter Wordle because one extra tile means more vowel coverage pays off. A good opener covers three or four vowels and uses two or three common consonants.
Strong openers to keep in your rotation:
- ORATES covers O, A, E with R, T, S
- RAISES covers A, I, E with R, S, S
- AUDIOS packs four vowels into one guess
- TEARED uses two Es with three top consonants
- STAIRS confirms S early and covers A, I
- SENIOR covers E, I, O with S, N, R

Reading Wordle Color Clues
Getting faster at Wordle is mostly about reading the colors correctly, not guessing more words.
- Green means the letter is correct and in the right position. Lock it in and never change it.
- Yellow means the letter is in the word but in the wrong spot. Move it, but keep it in your next guess.
- Gray means the letter is not in the word at all. Drop it and never use it again this round.
The one trap worth knowing: if your guess has two of the same letter (say two Es) and only one is actually in the word, the game marks one of them yellow or green and the other gray. The gray one does not mean "no Es in the word." It means "no second E."
Common 6-Letter Wordle Words
Wordle answers skew toward common everyday English, not obscure dictionary words. If your solver returns 50 candidates and you are picking between them, bet on the familiar ones first: PEOPLE, SCHOOL, LETTER, FAMILY, FRIEND, MOTHER, FATHER, SUMMER, WINTER, ANSWER, REASON, CHANGE, COFFEE, GARDEN, PLANET, BOTTLE, SILVER, GOLDEN, LITTLE, STRONG, PURPLE, ORANGE, SIMPLE, PRETTY, RETURN, TRAVEL, FOREST, MARKET, CASTLE, DECIDE, CAMERA, NUMBER.

Strategy for Solving 6-Letter Wordle Puzzles
Four habits separate players who solve in three guesses from players who solve in six.
Spread your vowels early. Your first two guesses should cover five of the six vowels (A, E, I, O, U, and sometimes Y). If you still have one unknown vowel after guess two, test it on guess three.
Do not repeat letters until you have to. If your first guess tells you R, S, T are all wrong, do not slot them into your second guess. Every repeat is a wasted tile.
Watch your letter positions. A yellow R in slot two cannot also be in slot two next guess. Move it to slot three, four, five, or six.
Save S for later. Many six letter answers end in S, but so do many don't. Testing S in slot six on guess one is often wasted. Use the first slot for common openers like T, R, S, L, and C.
When to Use the Finder Instead
The solver is built for live Wordle games where you already have color feedback. If you are working on a different kind of puzzle, the general tool is faster:
- Unscrambling letters from a rack (Scrabble, Words With Friends, anagrams) - use the 6 letter words finder
- Crossword clues with a pattern like C_A_LE - use the finder with blanks
- Looking up themed lists (cool, positive, common) - browse the guides
Common Ways "Wordle" Gets Misspelled

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a Wordle solver and a Wordle finder?
A finder gives you words that match a letter pattern without judging which ones are more likely to be the answer. A solver takes your game feedback (greens, yellows, grays) and only returns words that still satisfy every clue you have. This page is a solver. For a general finder, use the 6 letter words tool on the homepage.
How accurate is the 6-letter Wordle solver?
The solver returns every valid six letter word that fits the clues you enter. It cannot predict which one the game picked as the answer, but it narrows a list of thousands down to usually ten or fewer by guess three. The rest is pattern recognition on common versus rare words.
What do I do when the solver returns too many words?
Make your next guess cover letters you have not tested yet, even if that guess is not one of the solver candidates. Burning a guess on new information is often faster than guessing from a list of fifteen. Once two or three more letters are confirmed, run the solver again.
Can I use this solver for Word Hurdle?
Yes. Word Hurdle uses the same green-yellow-gray rules as Wordle, just with six letter words. Enter your Hurdle feedback the same way you would enter Wordle feedback and the solver works identically.
What if I have two of the same letter and only one is colored?
Enter the colored one in its correct slot (green or yellow). The gray duplicate means the answer does not have a second copy of that letter, so you should not add it to your gray list, or the solver will exclude all words with that letter entirely. This is a common place players go wrong.
Does the solver work for six letter crossword clues?
Partly. Enter known letters as greens in their positions and leave the rest blank. Skip the yellow and gray fields. The solver will return every six letter word that fits the pattern, which is usually what you need for a crossword.
What is the best first guess for a six letter Wordle?
Any word that covers three or four vowels and two common consonants. ORATES, RAISES, and AUDIOS are three of the strongest openers. For a deeper breakdown, read our guide on the best 6 letter words for wordle.
