Frequently asked questions

How do I enter my board?

Type your guess — letters fill left to right and a new row appears when one fills — then tap each tile to cycle its color: gray (not in the word), yellow (in the word, wrong spot), green (correct spot). Match your actual board exactly. The word list and suggestions update live with each change; if the results ever hit zero, one tile color is almost always off by a tap.

What should my first Wordle guess be?

A word of five distinct common letters — SLATE, CRANE, and TRACE are the classics, and solver analysis consistently ranks them near-optimal because they test the letters most likely to appear (E, A, R, T, S...) with no wasted duplicates. Second guess: if the first came back mostly gray, burn through five more untested common letters rather than chasing one yellow. Ten letters tested in two guesses beats eight nearly every time.

How does it handle repeated letters?

With Wordle's actual rule, which trips up players and solvers alike: colors are assigned per-copy. If you guess SPEED and one E comes back yellow while the other is gray, the answer contains exactly one E — the gray doesn't mean 'no E,' it means 'no second E.' This solver counts colored copies per letter per guess and enforces both the minimum and the cap, so words like ERASE are correctly excluded when your board proves only one E exists.

Is using a solver cheating?

For the daily social competition — sure, your gray squares are a little dishonest. But there's a defensible middle: using the solver after your third guess to see what you *should* have noticed is genuinely how people get better, because it makes the elimination logic visible. Plenty of players use it purely post-game as a review tool. Your streak, your rules; the solver doesn't judge.

About this tool

The Wordle solver works exactly like your board: type each guess into the tile grid, tap tiles to cycle gray → yellow → green, and it filters a standard five-letter word list down to every word that fits — with a best-next-guess suggestion ranked by how much it narrows the field. It applies Wordle's real rules, including the duplicate-letter case most solvers fumble: a gray letter with a yellow twin elsewhere means 'exactly that many copies,' not 'letter absent.' Everything runs locally in your browser, whether you use it to save a streak or to study why SLATE opens better than your birthday word.

Like most tools on UtilityBase, the wordle solver runs entirely in your browser — nothing you enter is uploaded or stored on a server. It's free to use with no account required. Browse more text tools here.
