Common questions about the solver
Use these answers to understand how clues, word lists, and matching results work before you narrow your next puzzle guess.
Do I need known letters first?
No. You can start with any mix of green, yellow, and gray clues.
What do green letters mean?
Green letters are confirmed in their exact positions, so the solver only keeps words that match those spots.
What do yellow letters mean?
Yellow letters must appear somewhere in the answer.
What do gray letters mean?
Gray letters are ruled out, so words containing those letters are removed from the result list.
Does Included letters record yellow positions or repeat counts?
No. It requires each entered letter at least once, regardless of its box. It does not record positions where a yellow letter cannot go or how many copies the word needs.
What if a letter is both gray and green or yellow?
A gray duplicate can mean there are no additional copies of that letter. Do not put it in Excluded letters if the word still contains it. Excluded letters means the letter is absent; conflicting included or confirmed clues must be corrected.
