No answer fits that board
Nothing in the official answer list matches every clue you entered. Double-check the tile colours — a grey that should be yellow is the usual culprit.
That's the answer
Most solvers ask you to sort your letters into three lists — correct, misplaced, absent. That is a translation step where mistakes creep in. Here you just retype each guess and tap the tiles until they look like your screen.
Results come from the official list of 2,309 words that can actually be a Wordle answer — not from a general dictionary. You will never be shown a word the puzzle would never use.
When the remaining words differ by a single letter — cover, cower, mover, mower — guessing them one at a time burns your turns. This solver will recommend a word that cannot win but splits the field fastest.
It is the expected information gain in bits. One bit means the guess is expected to cut the remaining answers in half; two bits, into a quarter. A guess worth 3.5 bits should take roughly 2,300 candidates down to a couple of hundred.
Because it is often the faster route. If eight answers remain and they all end in -ound, guessing them one by one can cost you the game. A single word containing b, f, h, m and p tells you which one it is in one turn. Suggestions that cannot win are marked probe.
Correctly — this is where solvers usually break. If you guess eerie and the answer is where, the third e comes back grey even though the answer does contain an e. Rather than deriving rules for that, this solver replays your whole board against every candidate word and keeps only those that would have produced the exact colours you saw.
The New York Times answer list: 2,309 words that can be the solution, plus 10,638 more that are accepted as guesses but never used as answers. Your guesses are checked against all 12,947; results only ever come from the 2,309.
No, and that is deliberate. It holds no puzzle schedule and makes no network request once loaded — it only narrows the list using the clues you enter. Nothing you type leaves your browser.
