How the helper works.

You guess a word. Wordle tells you which letters are right (green), in the word but wrong place (yellow), or not in the word at all (gray). Type that into the helper and we’ll filter the dictionary down to words that match every constraint at once.

// THE FILTER

  • Green letter at slot N — only show words with that exact letter at slot N.
  • Yellow letter at slot N — only show words that contain the letter but NOT at slot N.
  • Gray letter — exclude any word containing that letter (unless it also appears as green or yellow elsewhere — Wordle marks duplicates as gray when the answer only has one).
  • Excluded letters field — same as marking gray, just a faster way to dump in everything you’ve ruled out.

// THE RANKING

Results are sorted by a letter-frequency heuristic — words with more common, distinct letters come first. The top suggestion is usually the most informative next guess: it tests more high-frequency letters in one shot, which narrows the remaining space fastest.

// CAVEAT

Our wordlist is ENABLE, ~13K five-letter words. The actual Wordle answer pool is a curated subset of ~2,300 common words that the NYT keeps internal. So you’ll see obscure entries like azlon or boyla in the results — Wordle won’t accept those as the answer, but they’re technically valid filters. Mentally favor words you’d actually expect.

§ 03 / FAQ

Wordle questions.

How do I use it?+
Type the letters you’ve guessed in their slots. Click the button under each letter to mark it gray (not in word), yellow (in word, wrong spot), or green (right spot). Add letters you’ve ruled out completely in the EXCLUDED LETTERS field. The list of remaining possibilities updates as you type.
How is the answer list sorted?+
By a letter-frequency heuristic — words made of more common, distinct letters come first. The idea is that the top suggestion is usually the most "informative" next guess, since it tests more high-frequency letters at once. The first result also gets a green highlight.
Why am I seeing weird, obscure words?+
We use the ENABLE word list (~13K five-letter words). The official Wordle answer list is a smaller curated subset (~2300 common words) that the NYT controls. We don’t have access to the answer list, so we err on the side of "this could be valid." Mentally filter for words you’d actually expect.
Does it support hard mode?+
The current filter logic enforces every constraint you set, which is effectively hard mode behavior — you can’t suggest a word that ignores a known yellow or green. If you want a "soft" suggestion mode, open an issue.
Is this allowed?+
Wordle is a free puzzle without prizes — using a helper is between you and your daily streak. Most people use it when stuck on a hard one rather than to grind every solve. The dictionary is the same one your phone’s spell-checker uses.
