## Overview

The Wordle Solver helps you find the correct five-letter English word by filtering a database of approximately 12,000 words based on your game clues. By entering known letter positions (greens), misplaced letters (yellows), and excluded letters (grays), you can instantly view a list of matching candidates ranked by usage frequency to optimize your next guess.

## Inputs

- **Known Greens (right letter, right spot)** (text): 5-char pattern. Use the letter for green tiles, ? for unknown slots.
- **Known Yellows (right letter, wrong spot)** (textarea): Each line pins a letter to a slot it is NOT in.
- **Excluded Letters (gray)** (text): Letters you've confirmed are not in the answer.
- **Max Suggestions** (number): How many top candidates to show.

## When to use

- When you are stuck on a difficult Wordle puzzle and want to narrow down the remaining possibilities.
- When you want to analyze the best mathematical follow-up guesses based on your current clues.
- When playing Wordle-like spin-offs that use the standard five-letter English dictionary.

## How it works

- Enter your green clues using a five-letter pattern where known letters are placed in their exact spots and unknown slots are marked with a question mark.
- Add your yellow clues by specifying which letters are correct but in the wrong position, using either a pattern or slot-specific notation.
- Input all excluded gray letters to eliminate words containing those characters from the search space.
- Adjust the maximum number of suggestions and run the solver to get a frequency-ranked list of matching words.

## Use cases

- Solving daily Wordle puzzles when you have only one or two guesses remaining.
- Practicing word game strategies by testing how different clue combinations narrow down the word list.
- Finding valid five-letter words that fit specific letter constraints for custom word games.

## Frequently asked questions

### How do I input green letters?

Use a five-letter format where you type the known letters in their exact positions and use question marks for unknown spots, like ?R??E.

### How do I format yellow letters?

Enter them on separate lines. You can use a position format like '3:a' to indicate that 'a' is in the word but not in the third slot.

### Can I exclude multiple gray letters at once?

Yes, type all excluded letters together in a single string without spaces, such as 'SBCM'.

### How are the suggested words sorted?

Suggestions are ranked by English word frequency, showing the most common and likely Wordle answers first.

### Does this tool support languages other than English?

No, this solver is designed specifically for five-letter English words.
