    How Wordle Wizard works

    How do I use it?

    Play your guess in Wordle, then type the same word here. Tap each letter until it shows the color Wordle gave it: gray for letters not in the word, yellow for letters in the word but in the wrong spot, and green for letters in the right spot. Suggestions update as you type and tap.

    What does the best next guess mean?

    It's the possible answer expected to rule out the most of the others, whatever colors Wordle shows you. Wordle Wizard tries each likely answer against every word that's still possible and picks the one that splits them most evenly, then shows how many words you can expect to have left. The chips next to it are the runners-up. When one answer is very likely, it suggests going for the win.

    How are likely answers ranked?

    Wordle accepts 14,855 words as guesses, but most answers come from a much smaller list of common words. Words from Wordle's original answer list rank highest, other common English words come next, and obscure words come last. The percentages show how likely each remaining word is to be the answer.

    Does it work with hard mode?

    Yes. Every suggestion is a word that could still be the answer, so it always keeps your green letters in place and uses your yellow letters, as Wordle's hard mode requires.

    Where do the words come from?

    The 14,855 accepted words match the list in The New York Times' Wordle game. Word frequencies come from wordfreq by Robyn Speer, used under the CC BY-SA 4.0 license.

    Is this the official Wordle?

    No. Wordle Wizard is an independent helper and isn't affiliated with The New York Times. Wordle is a trademark of The New York Times Company.

    How it works

    1. Type the word you played in Wordle. Keep typing and the next guess starts on the next row.
    2. Tap each letter until it matches Wordle's colors: A not in the word, B in the word but in the wrong spot, C in the right spot.
    3. Check the suggestions. They update as you type and tap. The best next guess narrows down the possible answers fastest, and likely answers are ranked by how likely each one is to be today's word.

    Tap any suggestion to add it to the board. Every suggestion could still be the answer, so they work in hard mode too.
