Narrow down your next five-letter guess

Put green letters in their confirmed positions and use ? in the remaining slots. Add letters that must appear in the yellow field, then exclude letters that are definitely absent.

Watch out for repeated letters

A grey tile does not always mean that letter is absent: another copy may be green or yellow. Do not put a letter in the grey field if you know it occurs in the answer. Repeating a letter in the yellow field sets a minimum count.

What can this helper check?

It checks green positions, minimum letter counts and exclusions. It does not track where yellow letters were previously tried or enforce maximum repeated-letter counts. Review candidates against your full guess history.

This uses a broad dictionary, not the official answer list. Some suggestions may not be accepted by the game. This independent helper is not affiliated with Wordle or The New York Times.
