Search 15,052 distinct five-letter entries from two public-domain word lists. Match known positions, find a letter sequence, include yellow letters and remove confirmed misses to build a candidate list.
Combine any of the filters below. Use a question mark for each unknown position in your pattern. The dictionary selector lets you narrow results to the site's shorter common-word subset.
Example: enter S?A?E to keep S in the first position, A in the third and E at the end. Add TH under Letter sequence to find that exact adjacent pair.
Filters combine as you type. Results are shown in alphabetical order.

The combined list contains 15,052 distinct five-letter entries after duplicates are removed: 8,636 from ENABLE and 14,847 from Moby SINGLE, with 8,431 shared words. It is a broad English reference/guess dictionary, not the official New York Times Wordle answer list or its exact accepted-guess list. Some entries are uncommon, archaic or specialised.

Vowel count distribution
Standard vowels are A, E, I, O and U. Y is treated as a consonant in this summary.
Place each confirmed green letter in its exact position in the pattern field. Use a question mark for every square you have not solved yet.
2. Add yellow letters and sequences
Put yellow letters in Contains. Use Letter sequence only when the letters are adjacent and in that exact order. Remember to place every yellow letter somewhere other than the square where it appeared.
3. Exclude gray letters carefully
Add letters that are definitely absent to Excludes. When a guess contains the same letter twice, a gray tile can mean that the extra copy is absent rather than the letter itself, so check the other tiles before excluding it.
4. Choose the right dictionary
The combined dictionary merges ENABLE and Moby SINGLE, removes duplicate entries and keeps alphabetic five-letter words. It includes uncommon and archaic vocabulary as well as familiar words. The common-word subset is shorter and easier to scan. Neither list is an official NYT answer key.
