1. Wordle Solver+ (this site)

Solver. Input: Type gray, yellow and green letters.

Disclosure: this is our own tool. It filters the answers that fit your clues and ranks the best next guess by Entropy, Expected remaining words or MinMax, with the bits behind each suggestion. Free, no sign-up, no ads on the English pages. The companion Wordle bot grades a finished game guess by guess.

Also try the Wordle bot and the best Wordle starting words.

2. NYT WordleBot

Post-game analysis. Input: Play on NYT, or upload a screenshot.

The official analysis tool from The New York Times. It scores your skill and luck from 0 to 99 and replays your game against the bot. According to its FAQ, the bot picks guesses from about 4,500 common words. Access may require a New York Times subscription, and it only works once you've finished.

3. Wordle Dictionary

Solver and word list. Input: Tap tiles to match colors, or upload a screenshot.

A careful single-maintainer solver that scores useful guesses by how many answers they eliminate on average, and explains clearly that a useful guess is not the same as a likely answer. It handles repeated letters well and can filter out past answers. The homepage shows a grid of possible answers, which is a mild spoiler risk.

4. word.tips Wordle Solver

Solver. Input: Green, yellow and gray letter fields.

A full-featured solver with strict letter order, extra rows and a hard-mode toggle. It shows how many words remain and a ranked next guess, without explaining how the ranking works. Ad-supported, with sign-in and app prompts.

5. TheWordFinder Wordle Solver

Solver. Input: Green, yellow and gray letter fields.

A filter-style solver that can exclude yellow letters from the spots where they appeared, suggest a next guess and filter out previous answers. It also handles word lengths from 3 to 12 letters. Ad-supported.

6. Wordle Solver Pro

Solver. Input: Tap tiles, paste a screenshot or use a classic form.

A board-style solver where you type guesses and tap tiles to set colors, or paste a screenshot. It can sort candidates by frequency or by best guess, and supports 3 to 18 letters and Quordle.

7. Rock Paper Shotgun Wordle Solver

Answer finder. Input: Type guesses and tap tiles.

A simple tool from the PC gaming site: enter your guesses, tap the tiles to match the colors and it lists every possible answer plus the most useful letters. It does not rank whole-word guesses.

8. PerThirtySix Visual Wordle Solver

Visualization. Input: Click letters by position.

An ad-free, educational visualization of the 2,309 original answers that shades letters by frequency as you add constraints. Great for building intuition, but it does not suggest guesses, and newer answers can fall outside its list.

9. 3Blue1Brown: Solving Wordle using information theory

Video lesson. Input: Watch.

The 30-minute video that popularized the entropy approach to Wordle, also available as a written lesson on 3blue1brown.com. A follow-up video revisits which opener is really best. Start here if you want to understand why solvers suggest what they do.

10. Tom's Guide: today's Wordle hints and answer

Daily hints. Input: Read.

If you just want today's answer, this page is updated daily: hints first, then the answer behind a spoiler warning, plus recent answers. Heavy on ads, and easy to spoil yourself by scrolling too far.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best Wordle solver?

It depends on what you want. To get the best next guess with the reasoning shown, use a solver that ranks guesses by information, such as Wordle Solver+ or Wordle Dictionary. To learn from a finished game, use a post-game analyzer such as the NYT WordleBot or our free Wordle bot. If you only want the answer, a daily hints page is quickest.

Is using a Wordle solver cheating?

Wordle is a personal puzzle, so it is up to you. Many players solve on their own and use a solver or bot afterwards to see what they could have done better, which keeps the fun and still improves their play.

How do I find today's Wordle answer without a solver?

Daily hint pages such as Tom's Guide post clues first and the answer below a spoiler warning. A solver only narrows down the words that fit the clues you enter, so it will not reveal the answer before you have played.
