Five-letter helper
For Wordle and other five-letter guessing games. Add each guess, then tap its letters to match the colours the game showed you.
- Not in the word. New guesses start like this.
- In the word, wrong spot. Tap a letter once.
- Right letter, right spot. Tap it twice.
Each mark has its own symbol as well as a colour, so it reads clearly in any colour mode.

How the suggestions are chosen
Every word that still fits your marks is listed. The “strong next guesses” are the fitting words whose letters split the remaining list most evenly: a guess that would rule out about half of what is left teaches you more than one that rules out almost nothing. Everyday English words get a nudge up, since puzzle answers are usually familiar words.
Repeated letters are handled the way most of these games mark them. If you guess a word with two Es and only one turns gold or green, the helper knows the answer has exactly one E.
Letters to Word is not affiliated with Wordle or The New York Times. The word list is the public-domain ENABLE list, so it includes some uncommon words a particular game may not accept.
