Why does the opening list stop partway?

All 28,420 eight-letter words start out possible, and the panel lists the first 300 alphabetically while counting the rest. Mark a guess and the count drops; once it is 300 or fewer, every remaining word is listed, and with at least three left a line above the list names up to three of them that leave the fewest words on average.

Does an eight-letter word with a repeated letter work?

Yes. Repeated letters are counted, not guessed: if a row shows one copy of a letter yellow and another grey, the answer holds exactly one copy, and the readout's Counted cell says so.

8 Letter Wordle Solver

This page opens the solver on an eight-square grid. Type each eight-letter guess, colour the squares as your game showed them, and the panel searches the 28,420 eight-letter words in the ENABLE dictionary for the ones every clue still allows. The squares are smaller on a phone so that a whole guess fits on one line.

A tile takes a letter from the keyboard and cycles grey, green, yellow when you press it. Arrow keys move around the grid, backspace clears, and Escape empties the row you are in. A row counts once all eight of its letters are typed, so a half-finished guess never narrows the list behind your back. The Letters buttons set the word length, and each length keeps its own board. On a touch screen, use the letter keys above: each one types into the square with the ring around it, and a key goes dim once a guess has ruled that letter out.

Why a second E can come back grey. The game marks a guess left to right: greens first, then one yellow for each copy of a letter the answer still has spare. Guess an E twice against an answer holding one and the first E comes back yellow, the second grey. That grey is a count, not an exclusion: it says the answer holds exactly one E, and none in either of those two squares. A solver that reads it as “no E” throws the answer away, which is the mistake this page exists to avoid.

The word list. 172,823 words of public-domain ENABLE, 28,420 of them eight letters long, already served on this site for the anagram solver. It is a dictionary, not the game’s answer list, so it holds words the game will refuse, and it cannot tell you what today’s answer is.

Accuracy. Exact against the word list it ships with: every word shown satisfies every clue you entered, and repeated letters are counted rather than guessed. The list is the public-domain ENABLE dictionary, not the game's own answer list, so a word here may not be accepted and today's answer cannot be known from this page.
