How the Five Letter Word Solver works

  1. Enter the letters you have confirmed in position, using underscores for unknowns.
  2. Add letters known to be in the word but in the wrong place, and letters ruled out entirely.
  3. Pick from the remaining candidates — when several remain, guess the one that tests the most untried letters.

FAQ

What makes a good opening guess?

One with five distinct common letters, weighted toward vowels and frequent consonants. The point of the first guess is information, not a win.

When several candidates remain, which should I pick?

Not necessarily one of them. With three guesses left and five candidates differing in one letter, a non-candidate word that separates them is often the better play.

Is using a solver cheating?

That is between you and your streak. It is also a decent way to learn which letter patterns are common, which improves unaided play.
