Wordle Helper
Enter your green, yellow and grey letters and see every five-letter word that still fits, ranked best-guess first.
Best next guess: (highest letter-frequency score among the words left)
How it works
Enter the clues from your Wordle board and the list of possible answers narrows down as you type. Put one green letter per box and leave unknown positions empty; type each yellow letter under the position you guessed it in (several letters per box is fine); grey letters go in the last field in any order. Green letters are locked to their position. A yellow letter must appear somewhere in the word but not at the position you typed it under. Grey letters are removed entirely — with one important exception that most helpers get wrong: if the same letter is also green or yellow elsewhere, the grey tile does not mean "no E at all", it means "no more E than the ones you already found". This solver counts letters properly, so a word like geese survives a grey third E only when the count matches.
The remaining words are ranked with a positional letter-frequency score computed over the candidates still standing: for every position the solver counts how often each letter shows up there among the survivors, and a word scores the sum of those counts, ignoring repeated letters so a word like seeds is not rewarded twice for the same letter. Ties are broken alphabetically, so the same clues always give the same suggestion. It is a simple, transparent heuristic rather than a full information-entropy search, and it picks a solid next guess for almost every board.
The dictionary is a curated list of 0 common five-letter English words — no proper nouns, abbreviations or obscure plurals. It is deliberately compact so the page loads fast and works offline, which makes it a solver aid rather than an exhaustive tournament word list. A grey letter that is also green or yellow somewhere is treated as a duplicate clue: the word then contains that letter exactly as many times as you marked it.

Frequently asked questions
How do I use the Wordle helper?
Type each green letter into the box for its position, put every yellow letter under the position where you guessed it, and type all your grey letters into the grey box. The list of possible answers updates as you type, and the tool shows a suggested best next guess. Green means correct letter in the correct spot, yellow means the letter is in the word but somewhere else, and grey means it is not in the word — so a yellow O typed under position 1 tells the solver the answer contains an O anywhere except first.
How does it handle repeated letters and grey tiles?
Correctly, which is where most helpers go wrong. If a letter is grey in one tile but green or yellow in another, Wordle is telling you the word contains that letter exactly as many times as you have marked it — not that the letter is absent. This solver counts letters: every green and yellow occurrence sets a minimum count, and a grey tile for the same letter turns that minimum into an exact count. So mark the letter in both places and the results stay accurate.
How are the suggested words ranked?
By a positional letter-frequency score computed over the words still standing, not over the whole dictionary. For each of the five positions the tool counts how often every letter appears there among the surviving candidates, and each word scores the sum of those counts, with repeated letters counted only once so a word like SEEDS is not rewarded twice for the same letter. Ties break alphabetically, so identical clues always give the same suggestion. It is a transparent heuristic rather than a full information-entropy search, and the dictionary is a curated list of about 2,200 common five-letter English words kept small so the page stays fast and fully offline.
