Word Solver

Your guesses

Type the word you guessed, then tap each tile until its colour matches the game: gray, yellow, green.

Gray: not in the word Yellow: in the word, wrong spot Green: right spot

Words that still fit

Most likely first. "Chance" uses how common each word is in everyday English.

Each extra bit of info cuts the list in half. Tap a word to play it.

How it picks

For each possible guess, the app imagines every word that could still be the answer and works out which colours you would see. A good guess splits the words into lots of small groups, so whatever colours come back, few words are left.

That is called information (or entropy), measured in bits. A guess that could win right now gets a small bonus. Words that are more common count more, because puzzle answers are usually everyday words.

Numbers are tile points: rare letters like Q and Z are worth more. A blank scores 0 and is shown underlined.
