What you can type into Wordle Word Finder
- Green letters
- One character per position. Use _ for any position you have not confirmed, so c__ne means C first and NE last.
- Yellow letters
- Letters that are in the word but in the wrong place. Every one of them must appear somewhere in a result.
- Grey letters
- Letters your guesses ruled out. Words containing them are removed, unless the same letter is also entered as green or yellow.
- Word length
- Defaults to five for standard play; change it for six- and seven-letter variants.
How the results behave
- Repeated letters
- If a letter is both grey and confirmed elsewhere, enter it as green or yellow — it will be kept. The tool filters on which letters are present, not on how many times.
- Order
- Candidates are listed alphabetically within the length you chose. No guess ranking or frequency scoring is applied.
- Capped list
- A search returns up to 400 matches so the page stays fast. When you see a full 400 results, add a length or letter filter to see the part of the list you actually need.
Tips
- Enter grey letters as you collect them — ruling letters out narrows the list faster than adding another green letter.
- With many candidates left, guess a word that tests new letters rather than one from the top of the list.
Common mistakes
- Leaving out the grey letters, which keeps hundreds of impossible words in the list.
- Using a letter for an unknown green position instead of _.
About the wordle word finder
Daily word-game players who want to narrow the remaining candidates after two or three guesses instead of being handed an answer.
Daily word games give you three kinds of information per guess: a letter in the right place, a letter in the word but elsewhere, and a letter that is not in the word at all. Combining all three usually leaves only a handful of candidates by the third guess.
This helper is not connected to any puzzle and does not know today's answer — it simply filters an English dictionary against the clues you enter.
Accuracy and limitations
- This tool has no connection to any puzzle and does not know today's answer. It only filters this site's word list against the clues you type.
- Daily puzzles use their own answer and guess lists, so a candidate here may not be accepted by the game you are playing.
- Results come from this site's own list of about 16,750 words drawn from common written English. It is not an official game or tournament dictionary: rare, technical and inflected words can be missing, while some names, place names and abbreviations are included even though most word games would reject them. Always check a result against the rules of the game you are playing.
Frequently asked questions
Does this tell me today's answer?
No. It has no connection to any puzzle. It only lists dictionary words that match the clues you type in.
Can I use it for six or seven letter variants?
Yes. Change the word length field to match the puzzle you are playing.
What if a letter is both grey and yellow?
That happens with repeated letters. Enter it as a yellow or green letter — the tool keeps words that contain it.
