A solver that follows every color.
Enter the five letters of the scored clue, then tap each tile until its color matches your puzzle. The solver keeps exactly the words that would produce the same feedback. Choose the common-answer list first; try the broader guess list if your puzzle uses a different dictionary.
What if there is more than one answer?
A result belongs to the selected dictionary. More than one candidate means this input does not identify a unique word in that list. Zero candidates can mean a mistyped color, a repeated-letter count mismatch, or a word missing from our historical list. It does not prove your original puzzle is wrong.
Gray does not always mean absent.
When ALLEY is scored against APPLE, the pattern is green, yellow, gray, yellow, gray. One L is needed; the second gray L means there is no extra L. Green letters are assigned first, then the remaining copies are used for yellow tiles.
This is an independent tool for clues you enter. It is not a live feed of the current NYT weekly answers.
