Frequently asked questions
How do I search by position?
Use the five boxes under Right place. A letter in a box means that exact letter is in that exact position. Leave a box empty if you do not know it.
What does Wrong place mean?
These are letters that must be in the word but not in the positions you mark. Type the letters for each position that you already tried.
Can I exclude letters?
Yes. Type every letter you know is not in the word under Exclude. A letter you also use as green or yellow is treated as present and excluded only for extra copies.
Is this the official Wordle word list?
No. It is a broad English list of five-letter words, so it may show words that Wordle would not choose, but it should include the answer.
Can I use it for games other than Wordle?
Yes. It works for crosswords, hangman-style games and any puzzle that needs a five-letter word with known letters.
