## How Wordle clues work

After each guess, Wordle colors every letter: **green** means the letter is in the word and in the right spot, **yellow** means the letter is in the word but in a different spot, and **gray** means the letter is not in the word at all. Enter those clues above and the helper keeps only the words that fit all of them.

## How the filtering works

Each candidate word is checked against three rules: every green letter must sit in its exact position, every yellow letter must appear somewhere in the word, and no gray letter may appear unless it also shows as green or yellow elsewhere (Wordle colors the second copy of a doubled letter gray, which this helper accounts for).

## Strategy tips

Start with a guess rich in common letters, like **stare**, **crane** or **adieu**. Use your second guess to test fresh letters rather than reusing grays. When the list is down to a handful of words, prefer a guess that distinguishes between them (for example, testing the first letter) over guessing one candidate directly.

## Limitations

The helper filters a built-in list of 120 common English 5-letter words (60 each for French, Spanish and Japanese), which may not match the official Wordle answer list exactly, so a real answer is occasionally missing. Yellow letters are treated as present-anywhere; the helper does not track which positions you already ruled out for them.

## Frequently asked questions
### Is using a Wordle helper cheating?

That is up to you and whoever you compare scores with. Many players use helpers to learn patterns and improve; if you are competing with friends, agree on the rules first.

### Why does no word match my clues?

Double-check each clue, especially doubled letters: if the answer has one E and you guessed two, the second E shows gray. Also, the built-in list may simply lack the answer word.

### How are yellow letters handled?

A yellow letter must appear somewhere in the candidate word. The helper does not remember which positions you already tested for it, so it can suggest a word with the yellow letter in a spot you already tried.

### What about double letters?

A gray letter is only rejected if it does not also appear as green or yellow elsewhere, which mirrors how Wordle colors repeated letters. The candidate list itself includes words with doubled letters.

### Does it work for Wordle in other languages?

Yes. Switch the page language and the helper filters that language's 5-letter list, useful for Wordle clones in French, Spanish and Japanese.
