About Word Guess Solver
Word Guess Solver narrows down the answer to a five-letter word puzzle using the clues you have already earned. You enter the letters you have guessed and mark each one green, yellow, or grey, and the tool returns every word still consistent with that information.
It is built for the moment three guesses in when you know the answer contains an R somewhere and definitely no S or T, and your brain has stopped producing candidates. The tool does that filtering exhaustively, which a tired brain does not.
How it works
Everything runs in your browser. The page loads a list of 10,363 five-letter words, then filters that list against your constraints: letters in confirmed positions, letters known to be present but placed wrong, and letters ruled out entirely.
Nothing you type is sent anywhere, because there is no server involved. Your puzzle progress stays on your own device.
Using it without spoiling the puzzle
A solver can take the fun out of a game if you let it. The way to use one without ruining the experience is to treat it as a hint rather than an answer — look at how many candidates remain rather than reading the list, and use that to decide whether your next guess should try to eliminate letters or commit to a solve.
The starting words page is written in that spirit. It explains which openers eliminate the most possibilities and why, which makes you better at the game rather than dependent on a tool.
The word list
The list contains 10,363 five-letter English words drawn from a standard word list. It is deliberately broader than the answer list most daily puzzles use, because a solver that only knows likely answers is useless for checking whether a guess is even legal.
That breadth means some candidates the tool shows will never be a puzzle's answer. Narrowing to twelve possibilities of which three are plausible English words is still a considerable improvement on staring at the grid.
