Wordle Solver: Find Your Five-Letter Word
Narrow down five-letter answers fast.
When a daily five-letter puzzle stalls after three guesses, this solver gets you moving again. Enter the letters you have collected so far and it returns the five-letter English words that fit, so you can pick your next guess from a real shortlist instead of staring at the grid. It works best once you have a couple of confirmed letters: with an A in the middle and an R somewhere in play you land on candidates like CRANE, TRADE, BEARD and CHARM, and you can narrow the field further from there. Openers matter too, and words such as SLATE, ROAST and AUDIO cover a lot of common letters in one move. Please note that wordling.net is an independent site and is not affiliated with The New York Times; the game itself is theirs, and this page is simply a helper you can use alongside it. If you have more than five letters to work with, the word unscrambler on wordling takes over from here.
Common questions
What is the best five-letter word to start with?
Openers that combine frequent vowels with frequent consonants give you the most information per guess. SLATE, CRANE, ROAST and AUDIO are all popular for that reason, and a solid strategy is to follow your first guess with a second that shares none of its letters, so you test ten letters in two moves.
How do I use the solver during a game?
Type in the letters you have confirmed, run the search, and read through the five-letter words that come back. Cross off any word containing a letter your grid has already ruled out, then guess the one that tests the most new letters rather than the one you like best.
Is using a solver considered cheating?
That is yours to decide, since the daily puzzle is a private game with no scoreboard. Plenty of people reach for a hint only when a streak is on the line, and others use a solver afterward to see which words they missed.
Is this the official Wordle site?
No. Wordling.net is an independent word game portal and is not affiliated with The New York Times, which owns and operates Wordle. This page is a separate helper tool for players, and the puzzle itself stays where it has always been.
