crossed-out words can't be today's answer based on whether it has been played before
Every Wordle solver can filter words by your greens, yellows and grays. This one knows something extra: whether today's answer has ever been played before. Most days it hasn't — which means every one of the 1,800+ past Wordle answers is impossible and gets crossed out automatically. On the rare repeat day, the logic flips: only past answers remain. Either way the candidate list shrinks dramatically, and it never uses the answer itself — just a yes/no fact.
Recommended guesses surface the most common English words still consistent with your board, so the picks are words you'll actually recognize rather than obscure letter-dumps. For the strongest opening moves, see our best starting words analysis. Want to get better without any help? Read the data-backed strategy guide, or take it one clue at a time on the daily hint page.
Tap the board and type a guess you've played, then tap each tile to cycle its color until it matches your real board. The recommendations update instantly as you type: greens and yellows apply the moment you set them, and gray letters count once their row is complete. When you finish a row, a new one appears carrying the clues you've already earned: green letters locked into place, and any letter you marked yellow held at least yellow. Use the × beside a row to clear it.
The played-before clue. We maintain the complete archive of every Wordle answer, so this helper can rule out words no other tool can — without spoiling anything.
No. It uses only a yes/no fact — whether today's word has been played before — never the answer itself. What you see is determined entirely by the guesses you enter.
It simulates Wordle's exact coloring rules. A gray tile for a letter that's yellow or green elsewhere correctly means "no more copies of this letter" — the case most solvers get wrong.
