- 🟨 Misplaced Letters (Yellow Tiles): Enter letters that are in the word but in the wrong position. Each tile represents a position where the letter is NOT located.
- ⬛ Excluded Letters (Gray Tiles): Enter all letters that are not in the word at all.
- Click the Search button to find all possible 5-letter words matching your constraints.
Example:
If you know the word starts with A and ends with E, enter A in the first green tile and E in the last green tile. Then add any misplaced or excluded letters to narrow down the results.

What is Wordle?
Wordle is a free daily word puzzle game created by Josh Wardle that took the internet by storm in 2021-2022. Players have six attempts to guess a five-letter word, with colored tiles providing clues after each guess. Now owned by The New York Times, Wordle has become a global phenomenon with millions of daily players.
How to Play Wordle
The Rules
Guess the 5-letter word in 6 tries or less
Each guess must be a valid English word (check our dictionary to verify)
After each guess, tiles change color to give you clues
Use the clues to narrow down the answer (or try our Wordle solver for help)
Color Code System
Green: Correct letter in the correct position
Yellow: Correct letter in the wrong position
Gray: Letter not in the word
Green Example: The letter is correct and in the right position
If the answer is "BRAKE" and you guess "BRAKE", all letters turn green because they're all correct and in the right positions
Yellow Example: The letter is in the word but in the wrong position
If you guess "CRANE" and the answer is "BRAKE", the R turns yellow because R is in the answer but at position 3, not position 2 where you placed it
Gray Example: The letter is not in the word at all
If you guess "MUSIC" and the answer is "BRAKE", all letters turn gray because none of them (M, U, S, I, C) are in the answer
