use a Wordle solver without spoiling the puzzle.
A solver is best as a clue translator: record the colors you already earned, narrow the board, and keep answer-like help behind an intentional step.
Safe solver workflow
turn clue colors into the next useful guess.
The goal is not to outsource the puzzle. Use the tool to remember constraints and spot patterns, then return to the board before the help becomes a full answer.
- Play a first guess in the official puzzle before opening the solver.
- Type that guess into the solver row, then set each tile to the same color shown on your board.
- Add another guess only after you have played it and received a new color pattern.
- Check the candidate count before revealing the list; a small count means the hint is getting strong.
- Hide candidates or reset the tool when the list feels too close to a direct answer.
Spoiler-safe rules
keep the answer out of the default experience.
Enter only guesses you have already played. Do not ask the tool to invent today’s answer before you have clue colors.
Tap each tile until it matches your board: gray for absent, yellow for present, and green for correct position.
Open candidate words only when you want stronger help. Treat them as possibilities, not a final reveal.
If a candidate gives you enough momentum, return to the puzzle and keep the solve yours.
When candidates are useful
look for patterns, not just words.
A good candidate list helps you choose a direction: preserve confirmed letters, test common positions, and avoid repeating letters that your board already ruled out.
- Large lists mean you need another broad clue before asking for stronger help.
- Medium lists are good for comparing letter coverage and likely positions.
- Small lists are close to answer territory; hide the list if you still want a pure solve.
Quick answers
solver questions before you tap.
Does the solver know today’s answer?
No. The helper uses a small local word list and your clue colors. Today’s answer is not loaded into this guide or the solver UI.
When should I show candidates?
Use the hidden candidate list after two or more guesses, or when you are stuck enough that a stronger nudge still feels fun.
Can a candidate list still spoil the puzzle?
It can become spoiler-adjacent when only a few possibilities remain, so the list stays behind an explicit button and can be hidden again.
