Here are three commonly referenced word lists associated with the game Wordle: the “2309”, “3200”, and “14855” word lists. None of these lists have been officially confirmed as the definitive answer sets by the creators of Wordle.

• 2309 Word List:

  Many players report seeing answers from this 2,309‑word list, though there are exceptions.

• 3200 Word List:

  The 3,200‑word list is often used as a broader “answers” list in community tools.

• 14855 Word List:

  This much larger list, containing 14,855 words, is believed to reflect the broader vocabulary of words accepted by the game as guesses (rather than necessarily as answers).

Each of these lists plays a different role: the 2309 list as a common answers reference, the 3200 list for extended answer coverage, and the 14855 list for comprehensive guess vocabulary.

• Next-Guess Recommender: This tool uses an entropy-based approach to narrow down the list of candidate guesses. Initially, it ranks words based on their entropy, which measures the uncertainty or information content of the words. After narrowing down the candidates using entropy, other factors such as E[steps], E[cands], and max bucket are used to further refine the recommendations.


• ENTROPY: A measure of uncertainty, where higher values indicate words with more potential for narrowing down the solution space. Entropy values represent how "informative" a word is when used as a guess.
• E[STEPS]: An estimate of the number of steps required to guess the target word, given the current pool of candidate words. This is an approximation and may not always be 100% accurate.
• E[CANDS]: The expected number of candidates remaining after a guess, based on the current word pool. This metric helps assess how effective a guess is in reducing the search space.
• MAX BUCKET: The size of the largest group of words that would result from guessing a particular word, given the current state of the game. This value helps identify words that will divide the remaining possibilities evenly.


• Hard Mode ON: Guesses are made only from the top-ranked (Cands Thr) candidates based on entropy.
• Hard Mode OFF: Guesses are made from both the top-ranked (Cands Thr) candidates and top-ranked words from the external pool (Pool Thr), based on entropy.
• Cands Thr (Candidates Threshold): The maximum number of top-ranked candidate guesses from the main candidate list, selected based on entropy, used for the recommendation.
• Pool Thr (Pool Threshold): The maximum number of top-ranked external pool guesses, selected based on entropy, used for the recommendation (only applies when Hard Mode is OFF).

• ?: Exactly one letter (e.g.,A?E→ACE, APE, ARE)
• *: Zero or more letters (e.g.,E*E→AGREE, EAGLE, EERIE)
• [AEIOU]: Any one listed; [^AEIOU]: Not these (e.g.,[^AEIOU]ATE→SLATE, CRATE)
• &: AND; |: OR (AND has higher precedence)
• ( ): Group terms (e.g.,(ING & R) | (A?E & N))
