How the Five Letter Word Solver works
- Enter the letters you have confirmed in position, using underscores for unknowns.
- Add letters known to be in the word but in the wrong place, and letters ruled out entirely.
- 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.
