How it works

The same filter on a 7-letter board

A tile-clue solver is a search filter: green fixes a letter and position, yellow requires the letter somewhere else, and gray excludes it unless a confirmed duplicate is still unaccounted for in that row. None of that logic changes with board width — only the candidate list does.

Long words lean on predictable suffixes, so a confirmed ending often removes more candidates than a confirmed opening letter. Lock the tail of the word first when you can.

The board is aimed at seven-letter word grids, extended Wordle clones, and anagram-style puzzles. If you are actually playing the New York Times game, use the standard five-letter solver instead, and read how the filtering works if you want the logic spelled out.

Repeated letters on a 7-letter board

4,381 of the 6,612 words (66.3%) repeat at least one letter — ABILITY, ABSENCE, ACCEPTS, ACCORDS, ACCOUNT, ACHIEVE. The solver counts duplicates rather than treating a letter as simply present or absent, which is the part most hand-filtered lists get wrong. See the duplicate-letter rules.

Filter the 7-letter word list

Not every clue is positional. If you only know the opening, a middle sequence or the ending, filter the full list instead of guessing.

Quick answers

7-letter solver questions

How this board length works, what its word list contains, and what stays the same as the standard solver.

Does this solver work for 7-letter word puzzles?+

Yes. The board is already set to 7 letters and it filters the same way as the five-letter version: green tiles lock a position, yellow tiles require the letter elsewhere, and gray tiles exclude it (unless a duplicate copy is still confirmed elsewhere in the row).

How many 7-letter words does it search?+

6,612 7-letter English words, generated from the same corpus as our five-letter list. 4,381 of them (66.3%) repeat at least one letter, which is why duplicate handling matters on this board.

What is a good opening guess on a 7-letter board?+

NASTIER ranks first in our data: it repeats no letters and its letters appear in 48.2% of all 7-letter words we hold, so it eliminates more of the list than a narrower word. The ranked shortlist is on this page.

How is a 7-letter solver different from the standard 5-letter Wordle solver?+

The clue logic is identical. Only the board width and the underlying word list change: this variant filters 6,612 7-letter words instead of the roughly 3,400-word five-letter list, and the letter statistics shift with it — the most common ending here is -ED, in 16% of words.

Can I switch board length without losing my clues?+

Changing length resets the board, since a clue entered for one word length does not carry over to a different tile count. Use the length picker above the board before you start entering colors.

Are all 6,612 words possible answers in every 7-letter game?+

No. This is a broad English vocabulary list, useful for pattern matching and candidate filtering. It is not a claim about any specific game's official accepted-guess or daily-answer list, which can be narrower or use different rules.
