Wordle Solver

Wordle is a word game designed by Josh Wardle where the goal is to find a 5-letter word in six tries or fewer.

Each try must be a valid word from the dictionary. The game uses a color-coded system to indicate whether a letter is in the correct position (green), present elsewhere in the word (yellow), or absent from the target word (gray).

Wordle is reminiscent of Lingo and Mastermind in its hint system.

The original version is in English and offers a single word per day, the same for all players.

Indicate the word pattern using - (hyphen) for unknown positions.

Add any letters that are present but in the wrong position, as well as any letters deduced as missing from previous attempts.

The solver then generates the complete list of possible words in the selected dictionary.

The first word can be decisive, it is advisable to propose a word which uses a maximum of distinct letters among those used in the language of the game.

In English, the most frequent letters are E, T, A, O, I, N, S, R, H. dCode therefore suggests using as the first 5 letter word: NOTES, NOISE, etc. If no letter is well placed, try the following letters like the word CRUSH or LUNCH.

In the variants of the game using more letters, dCode offers INSERT, RETAIN for 6 letters and ANOTHER or SENATOR for 7 letters.

Using the dCode solver can be seen as a form of assistance or optimization. Since Wordle is a game without direct competition or official rankings, the use of a solver remains personal and does not impact other players.

Using dCode to break records or effortlessly impress others is, however, considered cheating.

Wordle can be seen as a minimalist, everyday digital version of Lingo.

Wordle was created in 2008 by Jonathan Feinberg, a very successful copy was put online in November 2021 by Josh Wardle, a concept which was bought by the New York Times.
