How this table was calculated

We scored this clue against every answer, grouped words by their exact five-tile feedback, and kept patterns with exactly one word. The all-green clue-equals-answer row is excluded. Green and yellow counts are nested filtering steps; the final step checks the entire feedback including gray multiplicity caps.

Data version: wordlein1-2026-11-03-v1. This is a complete reference for this pinned list, not every English dictionary or the current official puzzle. Sources and method
