You might want to add a column of what I call the “failure rate” of the percentage of people trying and failing to discover the Wordle solution on a given day. This number is available on the Wordle analysis page as the percentage who successfully completed the Wordle, and is easy to derive. Just look at the Wordlebot analysis of “Everyones’s guesses on Turn 6”, and you are shown the percentage of people who completed the Wordle within 6 guesses. It is a measure of the difficulty of determining each day’s word. For example, the April 23rd Wordle was very difficult because only 70.6% completed the puzzle (so far- I’m writing this on the 23rd..!). So 29.4% failed today. Normally the failure rate is less than 1% or 2%.
Thanks for the tip Bruce. I see a lot more traffic on fiveforks.com/wordle on a difficult word day, and the 23rd (ROVER) was a record! I think the “rhyme trap” of HOVER, COVER, LOVER, etc. caught a lot of people.
I don’t have access to Wordlebot, but also I don’t think I’ll add the failure rate on the list because there are a lot of great stats sites for those interested.
I do anticipate adding some kind of “last used” day count when Wordle starts reusing words, depending on if they go full random or if they put a word in “time out” for a year, for example. If they go full random (which is what I think they should do), there will be no need for the list.
I do not update yesterday’s answer until later the next day because of time zones still playing “yesterday” today. Generally that is between 8 am and 9am eastern time.
6 am would cover Hawaii and Alaska but I’m not up that early. 😉
I double checked other archive sources. I do not see PAVER and PATCH as past answers so they are still eligible. Do you have dates of answers on your list?
I update the list when I play, which is usually between 8am and 9am Eastern but sometimes later. For sure, I wait for Hawaii to roll past midnight, which is 6 a.m. Eastern.
Hi, I am an old crone who doesn’t do and will never do Venmo. Is there another way to show my support for this very useful list of past solutions? I tried to keep up my own for a long time but it became unwieldy. Anyway, thanks for the list.
I’m not sure about other people, but I struggle with the words being in all italics.
Thanks for this list though. I refer to this list daily before every guess 🙂
CarolAnn,
As I add words sometimes groups of words in the Alphabetical list or the Chronological list look funny or poetic together. Not actual haiku at all, of course, just some Wordle humor.
Thanks for asking!
Jeb
Hey, is today the day — numero 1000? If so, the lighting on the Empire State Building is cool. But today’s word is meh.
Or do I have this all wrong? If I am off-base, you damn well better believe tomorrow’s word, which I think I’ll get in one, is — LOL, figure it out yourself…
I am looking for an “on page” search method that makes it more obvious. On a desktop browser, the built in “Find” works great on the list. But a phone is not so easy.
It’s almost hidden on an iPhone, but you can type a word in the address bar and look for the last suggestion: “On this page”. That goes into an mode that lets you keep typing other words to look for on the page. Not sure abou Android.
You guys inspired me to run a full audit, which I do very few months. I export the three lists: alpha / chron / block into Excel and compare the sorts / dates / and sequence #s to look for miskeys. I also compare against a third party list source. Found 3 sort errors and fixed. Dates and #s all good.
Love this and use it daily. and the fact that feedback is listened to and incorporated where needed (the coloured bits in the list).
I have another suggestion: seeing as we are nearing 1,000 words, would it be possible to add the alphabet to the top of the page with hyperlinks to the top of that section?
Keep up tye amazing work and thank you for creating this.
I am a big fan of five forks.com and use the block list. I have one request, would you mind toning down the fluro yellow on the main page new header? I find it’s quite glary!? Is that even a word ? I’ll have to look it up ?
Sorry for the glare Julie. Alas, the yellow is part of the Five Forks brand. Sunny? ? The word cloud comes from the past answers. I was thinking about having multiple clouds rotate, and will look at making those different color backgrounds.
The block list view “wraps” to fit the space provided. On my iPhone mini (small screen) at 100% font size (standard) I see 5 words across with the phone vertical and 8 words across with the phone horizontal. On my computer screen I see 10 words across.
Is your browser set to zoom in or increase the font size?
I got confused when I saw 2/26/2024 for yesterday’s word. Wait, what? We’re in the February 20’s already?? I’m retired and sometimes do forget the date, but really? No, must be a typo.
You may remember all of the excitement with Y2K – Year 2000. Well W1K is quickly approaching – Wordle #1000!
For the purists, http://www.fiveforks.com/wordle list has 3 additional words because the list starts with #0 and there were two days with two answers. But celebrating W1K with #997, while accurate, is mathematically geeky. But perhaps W1K deserves a 3 day celebration? (Or would it be 4?)
I author the list in raw HTML. But I have thought about authoring it in a Google Sheet and let the sheet create the HTML. If I did that, I could publish a share link to the Google sheet.
I’ll move this idea into the labs and tinker on it. Thanks for asking OB!
I just explored your site, and at first I thought Block List was a list of blocked words that are never going to be an answer, lol. I appreciate all your work here. Fantastic job!
Alternate groups of letters are either blue highlight or not. It helps rapidly scroll to the starting letter you may be working. A couple of regular users came up with this and weighed in on how much color it should be.
I do not know how to build that. But I use the “on page” search in my browser. On my Mac I use “Command F” (Ctrl F on PC) to do an on page search. It isn’t obvious on an iPhone, but you can search any page by typing the search word in the address bar, don’t hit enter, but instead scroll to the bottom of the suggestions to choose the “On This Page” search.
I just tried this. Maybe it will help. Using a desktop/laptop computer, I went to print the page, and chose print/save to a PDF file first. Do you have that option? (It is built in on a Mac.) Both columns printed properly to the PDF, and then the PDF could be used to (actually) print to your printer.
If you mean you are not seeing recent Wordle answers, try refreshig your screen to see if your page is cached. The site is updated every morning to include yesterday’s answer (so no spoiler.) There is a 24-hour refresh script that is supposed to do this for you, but scripts can be blocked.
If you mean my clothing is out of date, I’ll give you that. 😉
[See reply that counters this observation.]
Thanks for the list! Worldle does repeat words. You have Queen listed and they just used Queen this week ( November, ‘23) .
Patricia, I think this is a false alarm? I do not see that QUEEN was used prior to this week. One reason I keep the chronological list with dates and #s is to watch out for the day they repeat. I don’t think we’ve hit that day yet. But it has to happen some time.
Thanks Mike. Wendy reported this and I fixed it on Oct 28. Can you see if refreshing the page solves? The site is supposed to auto-refresh every 24 hours, but browsers can be set to block that.
An advantage of the vertical list is you can see the most recent word in the CHRON sort, which is supposed to be current through yesterday (no spoiler.)
Great lists! I haven’t decided which is easier for me but they’re both a big help.
Question: Does this game have an end date? Or will you eventually allow previously used words? It’s a fun game.
I have not heard anything from the editor about an end date. My guess is at some point she announces words will be recycled. I think words should be recycled after a time period like 1 or 2 years.
Thanks for spotting, John. That was a double-paste error. Fixed. No repeats yet. The day that happens, it will be big Wordle News, and it will change how I manage this list. If repeats become random, the list may have no use. Let’s not DWELL on it. 😉
If that announcement is made to repeat words, it will be big news indeed! I still think your list will have use, though. For me, it’s interesting to know what words have already been used, whether recycled or not. I never use the list while playing.
If recycle allowed after 12 months (for example), then keeping dates/counts on the list could still make the list useful.

TRADE #1535 09/02/25
Back to the future.
Scanning vertically is easier for me but the block list is more compact, so less scrolling. Could you alphabetize the block list vertically first then across?
However, my biggest question/complaint is: Why doesn’t Wordle just disallow all previously used words? Instead of indicating “not on word list,” say “previously used.” And keep the vertical list for reference on when used.
I like the idea of Wordle allowing any word, but maybe giving you a flag it is “not in the pool”, so you have a chance to not play it. That would put this list out of business! (Fine with me.)
Interesting idea to alphabetize each letter block list vertically, but no, I don’t know how to do that. The blocks are using word wrap and adjust based on the size of your screen. Not sure how vertical word wrap would work. Might be able to use “flow” css. Off to the labs…
I love your site! It’s so clean and easy to navigate. I don’t want to use words that have already been Wordles, so I check the list before every guess. The game’s definitely getting harder now that several hundred words have been used. Thanks so much for creating and maintaining your site!
I love your lists and use them every day, thank you for this service!
I noticed this morning in the alphabetical list that ‘caper’ is placed after ‘carry’, but I’m pretty sure it should come before ‘carat’.
Regards
Mandy
I really liked the highlighting you added a few weeks ago…and love the app altogether for sure. It makes Wordle so much more fun. I spread the word to whoever I meet that is playing wordle.
I really appreciate this website. At some point, maybe 100 or more wordles ago, I decided not to use any words that had already been wordles. There have been MANY times that doing so would have gotten me to the wordle sooner – but why use a word you KNOW can’t be the wordle? It’s getting harder now. There have been wordles for which I have wanted to use 5 -8 words that are already taken. It takes more time, but makes for a better game. I think. So thank you for your site. There are probably others with similar lists. But I like yours. I like both the running list and the alpha blocks. Thanks again. — A wordle player
Thank you for the feedback, Elissa. Much of the game is narrowing down, and used words can do that in the first, second, even third guess. But then you start running out of options, so you need to get to an available word. My brother beats me most of the time without the list, but he is a genius Scrabble player. 😉
The monospace font is new to make words easier to read, but that takes more room. Depending on how your phone settings are set, the two columns will stack. I can tweak some of the center space to tighten up.
Hi! I really appreciate this list! Thank you for creating it.
Have there been recent changes as I now have just an alphabetical list, there used to be a list of the words by day too.
Will that be coming back?
Thank you ?
I will have to look into how to do an on page search. Your browser supports on page search, but it is not obvious on an iPhone, for example, that you type a word in the URL field and then scroll to the bottom of type ahead to pick “Find on page.”
I wonder if alternating colors of text would be easier on the eyes than the blue highlight? Not a big deal, just wondering if something more subtle would be better. I do like the differentiation between letters.
Please retain the vertical list – it’s so quick to scroll through to the word one wants to check and, in any case, if it ain’t broke, why fix it? Thank you! ??
Vertical vs block list –
Vertical please. Much easier to scan.
Thank you for maintaining this list. It has helped me maintain my Wordle sanity ??
Much appreciated ?? ?? ??
With the list so long, block list is useful to me.
As a suggestion for block list – Would it be possible to have each starting letter on a new line / block?
Suggestion for both – could consecutive starting letter words have alternating colours? Eg. All words starting with A are Green, B Blue, C Green etc.
It’s only to make it easier to find, but the current lists work, and I refer to this first before I guess. Thank you so much for this helpful tool! I kept forgetting to update my own list, until I found this one. ?
I prefer the vertical list. I previously used an alpha list but it was so hard to single out words. I went searching for a vertical list and found YOU!!! I was so happy.
I do however like the suggestion to differentiate the start of each new letter. Whether by color or a line space, as Aitch suggested, would help, I think. But I also don’t know the difficulty in doing this, so if it’s not easy, then I’m completely happy with the list as is. Thank you for taking the time to do all this work!!!
INDEX #787 08/15/23
I may have been a little late updating the list in the 16th, which I usually do around 8 am eastern time the next day. But I was at the beach with toddlers! That was a good word with a starting I and an X!
FLYER has the incorrect number on the alphabetical list, it should be 759. Also, on the chronological list, after FLYER the sequential number is wrong. It jumps from 759 to 780. FLYER seems to be having a bad day.
You jumped from 759 to 780 in your numbering of the Wordle list. See below.

It’s so great that you do this work. Many thanks.
Thank you for this list, it is exactly what I was looking for. I did find a tiny issue: your puzzle numbers went from #759 to 780 instead of to #760.
Thanks!
Please turn off the 60-second meta refresh that you added since yesterday; it’s very annoying. I have disabled it in my browser so it prompts me whenever I open a page with such a refresh directive, but that’s a further inconvenience to other sites that use it more responsibly.
Sorry about that. Just adjusted to 24 hours instead of 1 minute. I got feedback that the list was not updating for weeks, and it turned out some Wordlers keep http://www.fiveforks.com/Wordle as an open tab and did not refresh. I installed a refresher plugin that defaulted to 1 minute. Just changed it to 24 hours. Thanks for feedback!
Thank you Tamara! I screen cap my guesses each day as a back up record. On that day my third guess was CLASP, and I thought I had finished and updated the list the next day. But now I see the “P” was gray! Didn’t finish the race that day afterall…
Not in alphabetical order, please reorder:
CHARM / CHANT
COCOA / COAST
FISHY / FINER / FIRST
FLIRT / FLING
FRONT / FROCK
WALTZ / WACKY
Also: HOMER and UNZIP are out of order on your valuable list.
Thanks Ken. Should be all fixed now. I ended up using a spreadsheet to resort the ALPHA list. Will take extra care in my go-forward manual ALPHA placements.
First, I would like to thank you for creating and managing this list. My family and I use it every day. I would just like to point out that the alphabetical listing has some errors in it. It seems kind of picky but I’ve used the list a couple of times to verify that a word hasn’t been played yet only to realize that it HAS been played. It just wasn’t in the right place within the list. Here are the mistakes that I have found:
ALOFT and ALONE should be before ALOUD
CHANT should be before CHARD
COAST should be before COCOA
FARCE should be before FAULT
FISHY should be after FIRST
FLING should be before FLIRT
FROCK should be before FRONT
HAVOC should be before HEADY
HOMER should be before HORDE
RHINO and RHYME should be before RIPER
RUDDY should be before RUDER
SPIRE should be after SPILL
TAUNT should be after TASTY
UNZIP should be after UNTIE
WACKY should be before WALTZ
Thanks Paul. I manually update the CRON column each day (harder to mess that up) then copy paste the word # into the ALPHA list. I’ll have to be more careful there!
I love your list… use it every day. I couldn’t imagine doing Wordle without it. That’s why I need to take a minute to inform you that a mistake was made on 5/13. You apparently numbered the word for that day with the number from the previous day, so now your listings are one number behind, as illustrated below:
It really stumped me for a few minutes, until I backtracked a few days and caught it. I hope this helps, and I hope you continue providing this great service.
Thanks again,
Patrick Hall
You might want to add a column of what I call the “failure rate” of the percentage of people trying and failing to discover the Wordle solution on a given day. This number is available on the Wordle analysis page as the percentage who successfully completed the Wordle, and is easy to derive. Just look at the Wordlebot analysis of “Everyones’s guesses on Turn 6”, and you are shown the percentage of people who completed the Wordle within 6 guesses. It is a measure of the difficulty of determining each day’s word. For example, the April 23rd Wordle was very difficult because only 70.6% completed the puzzle (so far- I’m writing this on the 23rd..!). So 29.4% failed today. Normally the failure rate is less than 1% or 2%.
Thanks for the tip Bruce. I see a lot more traffic on fiveforks.com/wordle on a difficult word day, and the 23rd (ROVER) was a record! I think the “rhyme trap” of HOVER, COVER, LOVER, etc. caught a lot of people.

I do anticipate adding some kind of “last used” day count when Wordle starts reusing words, depending on if they go full random or if they put a word in “time out” for a year, for example. If they go full random (which is what I think they should do), there will be no need for the list.
The 19th is missing.
I do not update yesterday’s answer until later the next day because of time zones still playing “yesterday” today. Generally that is between 8 am and 9am eastern time.
6 am would cover Hawaii and Alaska but I’m not up that early. 😉
No spoiler.
i have paver and patch on my list
I double checked other archive sources. I do not see PAVER and PATCH as past answers so they are still eligible. Do you have dates of answers on your list?
Hi- what time is the past wordle put on your list?
It is 8am on Sunday, April 14 and yesterday’s wordle STEEL is not listed yet.
I update the list when I play, which is usually between 8am and 9am Eastern but sometimes later. For sure, I wait for Hawaii to roll past midnight, which is 6 a.m. Eastern.
Audit fixed TABOO and STUNG.
Maybe before Mayor
Fixed on block list. Thanks Gary!
Hi, I am an old crone who doesn’t do and will never do Venmo. Is there another way to show my support for this very useful list of past solutions? I tried to keep up my own for a long time but it became unwieldy. Anyway, thanks for the list.
Replying here with thanks was plenty of support!
Thanks Jean!
I’m not sure about other people, but I struggle with the words being in all italics.
Thanks for this list though. I refer to this list daily before every guess 🙂
That was an html error. All fixed. Thanks for calling it out Aitch!
Thanks for sorting! Much appreciated ?
The word savvy was not on the 23rd. And you are missing the 24th and 25th which was Sally. Wondering if it was supposes to be savvy?
Wow. Thanks Diane. I have a bit of calendar dyslexia and 03/23/24 really threw me off! All fixed.
I’m looking forward to the year 2032 which will be the first year this century that is not a day of the month!
3/23 and later have the wrong dates and 3/25 is the wrong word. It was SALLY, not SAVVY.
Fixed. Need more coffee. Thanks Clay!
Wordle 1010 was SALLY, not SAVVY.
I had a screen cap fail. (How I reference prior day.) Thanks Duane!
Word #1010 was SaLLy not Savvy.
Fixed. Sorry about that Mel!
The 3/25 word was sally not savvy
You reported it first Monty. It’s a long story involving a screen cap fail, Scordle what if, and a text to my sibs. Thanks or the feedback!
No problem, appreciate all the work you do on this!
I don’t understand

Happy 1000 day! Thanks for your hard work in maintaining this epic website!
Hey, is today the day — numero 1000? If so, the lighting on the Empire State Building is cool. But today’s word is meh.
Or do I have this all wrong? If I am off-base, you damn well better believe tomorrow’s word, which I think I’ll get in one, is — LOL, figure it out yourself…
Since the first word was #0 CIGAR, today #999 is the 1000th, but tomorrow will be #1000. Worth celebrating multiple days!
missing fauna in alphab…
I don’t have a record that fauna has ever been an answer. Checked a couple of sources. Do you know the date and/or Wordle #?
I don’t believe FAUNA has been used. Maybe you are thinking of FLORA?
Is a search feature in the works? That would make this site absolutely perfect!
I just use the “find” feature on my browser and that seems to work really well.
I am looking for an “on page” search method that makes it more obvious. On a desktop browser, the built in “Find” works great on the list. But a phone is not so easy.
It’s almost hidden on an iPhone, but you can type a word in the address bar and look for the last suggestion: “On this page”. That goes into an mode that lets you keep typing other words to look for on the page. Not sure abou Android.
In Android, there’s a “Find in page” choice in the 3dot drop down menu. Works perfectly.
Thanks for this great list !
Hint: scram is out of alphabetical order
Fixed on the BLOCK list. Thanks LG!
You guys inspired me to run a full audit, which I do very few months. I export the three lists: alpha / chron / block into Excel and compare the sorts / dates / and sequence #s to look for miskeys.

Thanks. Is it possible to share a link to the pertinent Excel document?
I appreciate this page and use it daily!
This section is out of order: VIRAL VIOLA VITAL
Thanks!
Good catch, Jon. Fixed on the block list.
Love this and use it daily. and the fact that feedback is listened to and incorporated where needed (the coloured bits in the list).
I have another suggestion: seeing as we are nearing 1,000 words, would it be possible to add the alphabet to the top of the page with hyperlinks to the top of that section?
Keep up tye amazing work and thank you for creating this.

I am a big fan of five forks.com and use the block list. I have one request, would you mind toning down the fluro yellow on the main page new header? I find it’s quite glary!? Is that even a word ? I’ll have to look it up ?
Sorry for the glare Julie. Alas, the yellow is part of the Five Forks brand. Sunny? ? The word cloud comes from the past answers. I was thinking about having multiple clouds rotate, and will look at making those different color backgrounds.
Please allow 5 words per line rather than 3
SB,
The block list view “wraps” to fit the space provided. On my iPhone mini (small screen) at 100% font size (standard) I see 5 words across with the phone vertical and 8 words across with the phone horizontal. On my computer screen I see 10 words across.

Fun!
Why are there two entries for Feb 6 2024?
Because of that movie with Bill Murray and Groundhog Day?
(Fixed. Thanks Joe!)
The dates from 2/6 forward are off by one because 2/6 is repeated.
Thanks Celeste. Once again I am mathematically challenged by “+ 1”. Fixed!
Hi. Could you check your dates. you have Which #962 and After #963 both as 6th Feb although the # numbers are correct.
Best wishes
Thanks for being the first to report, Diane! Fixed!
Thank you – it’s very helpful
Thanks for the excellent very useful job. Is it possible to provide these lists in a spreadsheet format e.g. Excel format.
I author the list in raw HTML. But I have thought about authoring it in a Google Sheet and let the sheet create the HTML. If I did that, I could publish a share link to the Google sheet.
I’ll move this idea into the labs and tinker on it. Thanks for asking OB!
#960 is 2/4/24, not 2/3/24 or were there 2 answers for 2/3/24?
Fixed! Thanks Pam.
(Math can be so hard in the morning.)
I just explored your site, and at first I thought Block List was a list of blocked words that are never going to be an answer, lol. I appreciate all your work here. Fantastic job!
Hah! If you can think of a better name than “Block List” glad to consider it!
Thanks for the feedback Terry!
Why are some words highlighted blue? Thank you so much for this list v helpful!
Alternate groups of letters are either blue highlight or not. It helps rapidly scroll to the starting letter you may be working. A couple of regular users came up with this and weighed in on how much color it should be.
The Block list view does this with group spacing.
Thanks for asking Bryanna!
Hey, I like this. Thanks for providing it.

You’re welcome Nancy!
EVERY comes before EVOKE
Fixed. Thanks Helge! Had it right on the block list, so I’m only half screwed up. 😉
Congrats to CABLE #931 01/06/24 for taking 1st in the C group. CACAO #364 06/18/22 had a long reign, and still, perhaps, the more poetic.
Scope comes before scorn
Fixed. Thanks Lar!
Congratulations to BACON #912 12/17/23 who takes the first “B” position. We thank BADGE #321 05/06/22 who had a very nice run.
And to TABLE #913 12/19/23 who took over first “T” over the long standing TACIT #246 02/20/22.
Does this mean you win an AZURE BACON BADGE?
Hah!
Could you make a search box where one could quickly check words without scrolling?
I do not know how to build that. But I use the “on page” search in my browser. On my Mac I use “Command F” (Ctrl F on PC) to do an on page search. It isn’t obvious on an iPhone, but you can search any page by typing the search word in the address bar, don’t hit enter, but instead scroll to the bottom of the suggestions to choose the “On This Page” search.
This article describes how to do an on page search on Phone or Tablet:
https://www.businessinsider.com/guides/tech/how-to-control-f-on-iphone
Also… have you tried the “Block List” format? It can be quicker to scan, but it does not have the dates and #s, which some people like.
https://www.fiveforks.com/wordle-block/
#909 Is missing, you’ve jumped from #908 to #910, otherwise words are correct.
Thanks Duncan. Fixed from 909 up! — Jeb
I want to print both the Alphabetical and Chronological, but get only the Chronological. It shows both on my printer. What am I doing wrong?
D.S.
I just tried this. Maybe it will help. Using a desktop/laptop computer, I went to print the page, and chose print/save to a PDF file first. Do you have that option? (It is built in on a Mac.) Both columns printed properly to the PDF, and then the PDF could be used to (actually) print to your printer.

Patricia, I think this is a false alarm? I do not see that QUEEN was used prior to this week. One reason I keep the chronological list with dates and #s is to watch out for the day they repeat. I don’t think we’ve hit that day yet. But it has to happen some time.
Thanks for the feedback!

I noticed VAGUE is listed at the end of U’s in the block arrangement. It blends in quite well.
Thanks Mike. Wendy reported this and I fixed it on Oct 28. Can you see if refreshing the page solves? The site is supposed to auto-refresh every 24 hours, but browsers can be set to block that.
An advantage of the vertical list is you can see the most recent word in the CHRON sort, which is supposed to be current through yesterday (no spoiler.)
In the alphabetical list, ‘dance’ precedes ‘dandy’.
DADDY #833
DANCE #596
DANDY #475
Fixed. And more poetic!
Thanks Pat!
In the alphabetical list, ‘anger’ comes before ‘angel’.
Thanks Pat! Angry angels back in order…
ANGEL #819
ANGER #686
ANGRY #395
In the block view VAGUE has ended up at the end of the “U”s!
Many thanks for your uncluttered listing – especially the block view!
Fixed! Thanks Wendy!
Great – thanks!
Wordle poetry (chronological)
COLON STOOL CRUST…FRESH DEATH!
That’s some dark poetry!
Great lists! I haven’t decided which is easier for me but they’re both a big help.
Question: Does this game have an end date? Or will you eventually allow previously used words? It’s a fun game.
I have not heard anything from the editor about an end date. My guess is at some point she announces words will be recycled. I think words should be recycled after a time period like 1 or 2 years.
Jeb, I’ve noticed that DWELL is listed twice in the block list. Is this a legitimate recycle or just a mistake?
Thanks for spotting, John. That was a double-paste error. Fixed. No repeats yet. The day that happens, it will be big Wordle News, and it will change how I manage this list. If repeats become random, the list may have no use. Let’s not DWELL on it. 😉
If that announcement is made to repeat words, it will be big news indeed! I still think your list will have use, though. For me, it’s interesting to know what words have already been used, whether recycled or not. I never use the list while playing.
If recycle allowed after 12 months (for example), then keeping dates/counts on the list could still make the list useful.

Back to the future.
Scanning vertically is easier for me but the block list is more compact, so less scrolling. Could you alphabetize the block list vertically first then across?
However, my biggest question/complaint is: Why doesn’t Wordle just disallow all previously used words? Instead of indicating “not on word list,” say “previously used.” And keep the vertical list for reference on when used.
I like the idea of Wordle allowing any word, but maybe giving you a flag it is “not in the pool”, so you have a chance to not play it. That would put this list out of business! (Fine with me.)
Interesting idea to alphabetize each letter block list vertically, but no, I don’t know how to do that. The blocks are using word wrap and adjust based on the size of your screen. Not sure how vertical word wrap would work. Might be able to use “flow” css. Off to the labs…
If Wordle disallowed words already used, the dynamics of the game would totally change, and it would get exponentially easier as time progresses.
Awesome job on the Block List! Thank you so much for maintaining these lists.
Great website! Thanks for keeping it updated. Just wanted to let you know that the word FRANK is out our order in the alphabetical list.
Thank you Sheila! FRANK is now back in order.
Thank you for this wonderfully-formatted list. I copied it into Word and add to it each day to keep it current.
You are welcome JH!

I love your site! It’s so clean and easy to navigate. I don’t want to use words that have already been Wordles, so I check the list before every guess. The game’s definitely getting harder now that several hundred words have been used. Thanks so much for creating and maintaining your site!
Thanks for the feedback Theresa!
I love your lists and use them every day, thank you for this service!
I noticed this morning in the alphabetical list that ‘caper’ is placed after ‘carry’, but I’m pretty sure it should come before ‘carat’.
Regards
Mandy
Good catch Mandy! CAPER is now correctly sorted on the vertical list. I got it right on the block list.
Thanks!
I really liked the highlighting you added a few weeks ago…and love the app altogether for sure. It makes Wordle so much more fun. I spread the word to whoever I meet that is playing wordle.
Thank you Kathleen. I’m a daily user, and appreciate the feedback and help.
I really appreciate this website. At some point, maybe 100 or more wordles ago, I decided not to use any words that had already been wordles. There have been MANY times that doing so would have gotten me to the wordle sooner – but why use a word you KNOW can’t be the wordle? It’s getting harder now. There have been wordles for which I have wanted to use 5 -8 words that are already taken. It takes more time, but makes for a better game. I think. So thank you for your site. There are probably others with similar lists. But I like yours. I like both the running list and the alpha blocks. Thanks again. — A wordle player
Thank you for the feedback, Elissa. Much of the game is narrowing down, and used words can do that in the first, second, even third guess. But then you start running out of options, so you need to get to an available word. My brother beats me most of the time without the list, but he is a genius Scrabble player. 😉
yes he is!
Oh! I’ve just spotted it!
The chronological list is now BELOW the alphabetical list!
Mine always showed side by side till now ?
The monospace font is new to make words easier to read, but that takes more room. Depending on how your phone settings are set, the two columns will stack. I can tweak some of the center space to tighten up.
Thanks for feedback!
Hi! I really appreciate this list! Thank you for creating it.
Have there been recent changes as I now have just an alphabetical list, there used to be a list of the words by day too.
Will that be coming back?
Thank you ?
Perfect, much, much better with the muted color. Easier font recognition!
Thanks
I liked the blue better. This color doesn’t provide enough contrast.
Great website!
I vote for vertical.o
I prefer the vertical list and the previous font was easier to read. Not a fan of the blue highlight, maybe something more subtle or nothing at all.
I do appreciate the list (use it daily) and the effort it takes to maintain. Thank you so much, we’d be lost without it.
I prefer vertical but with a lighter or pale color. The darker blends with the type too much.
Thanks for all you do!!
Art
Thank you for both lists. My favorite is the block list.
I do like the color separating the alphabetical list words. I am probably in the minority, but I did prefer the larger font.
Please have a search line above the entire list to instantly find the word you want check if among the used words ….
I will have to look into how to do an on page search. Your browser supports on page search, but it is not obvious on an iPhone, for example, that you type a word in the URL field and then scroll to the bottom of type ahead to pick “Find on page.”
That Block list really gives a feel for how few some of the letters are used. Only 5 words starting with “J”!!
Quick stats!
I prefer the block. Less scrolling and I can see more words at one time.
I go back and forth. I like seeing the numbers and dates, too, but that is just about curiosity.
I wonder if alternating colors of text would be easier on the eyes than the blue highlight? Not a big deal, just wondering if something more subtle would be better. I do like the differentiation between letters.
I agree. Will experiment with font colors instead of background. And / or a more subtle background.
Yes, excellent work! I just noticed the updates. And I love the new font!
Please retain the vertical list – it’s so quick to scroll through to the word one wants to check and, in any case, if it ain’t broke, why fix it? Thank you! ??
Keeping both. Thanks Carol.
Wow! This list keeps getting better! Thank you very much, five forks.
And thanks for the coffee Carol Ann! 😉
Do you prefer using the vertical list or block list format? Thoughts? Please reply here. Thanks!
Vertical vs block list –
Vertical please. Much easier to scan.
Thank you for maintaining this list. It has helped me maintain my Wordle sanity ??
Much appreciated ?? ?? ??
With the list so long, block list is useful to me.
As a suggestion for block list – Would it be possible to have each starting letter on a new line / block?
Suggestion for both – could consecutive starting letter words have alternating colours? Eg. All words starting with A are Green, B Blue, C Green etc.
It’s only to make it easier to find, but the current lists work, and I refer to this first before I guess. Thank you so much for this helpful tool! I kept forgetting to update my own list, until I found this one. ?
Great suggestions. Basically how do we get to the starting letter group quicker. I’ll take a look!
Thank you for looking into the alternate colours. This is SO much easier now.
I never guess unless I check the list first. ?
I do this also.
Block of easier for me.
I do like the block list, not as much scrolling. However, I don’t know that I’m ready to abandon the vertical list. Could both formats be available?
Yes, both formats will be retained. I’m going back and forth myself. The vertical lists, having more information, are better for audit, too.
Thanks Kent!
Yes, as I have chewed on this, I realize there are advantages to both. If I had to choose only one, I think the edge goes to vertical.
I prefer the vertical list. I previously used an alpha list but it was so hard to single out words. I went searching for a vertical list and found YOU!!! I was so happy.
I do however like the suggestion to differentiate the start of each new letter. Whether by color or a line space, as Aitch suggested, would help, I think. But I also don’t know the difficulty in doing this, so if it’s not easy, then I’m completely happy with the list as is. Thank you for taking the time to do all this work!!!
Thanks Lisa! I added line spaces to the block list this morning. Will try background colors on the vertical list.
One lonely Z. No X.
What happened to the August 15th word?
INDEX #787 08/15/23
I may have been a little late updating the list in the 16th, which I usually do around 8 am eastern time the next day. But I was at the beach with toddlers! That was a good word with a starting I and an X!
Month for past few entries shows July not August
Fixed! Thanks Jenny!
List poetry:

LOWLY #285
What is ‘list poetry’? Loopy etc..
(We always challenge ourselves to use our daily guesses in a sentence.. but it’s more like ‘prosetry’?)
When I’m working the list, I sometimes see funny word sequences appear. Alpha sort list subject to change, of course, but Chron sort is locked in.
How about LUSTY LYING MADAM?
Nice find! And even the next word adds to it!
LUSTY #88
LYING #92
MADAM #387
MAGIC #607
Did a full audit. CHRON list was good. ALPHA had these # corrections. Thanks Stephen and Kent!
WAS -> FIXED
CARRY #494 -> CARRY #495
FLANK #781 -> FLANK #761
FLOUT #493 -> FLOUT #494
FROZE #783 -> FROZE #763
GROUT #64 -> GROUT #643
HOBBY #785 -> HOBBY #765
HOTEL #744 -> HORSE #626
HORSE #626 -> HOTEL #744
POWER #398 -> POWER #400
TONIC #780 -> TONIC #760
WHALE #784 -> WHALE #764
WHEEL #786 -> WHEEL #766
Hello,
In the alphabetical list, FLANK should be #761, not #781.
Thanks.
Fixed! Thanks Kent!
Error in alphabetical list: BURLY IS #762, not 782 as shown. We have not yet reached puzzle #782.
Fixed! Thank you!
FLYER #759 issue repaired. Thanks YJ, Lynne, Joanna, Kent, and Veronica!
Thank you for your site. I saw “BURLY” in the alphabetical list as #782, according to chronological list it should be #762.
BURLY now 762. Thank you Kate!
The previously wrongly numbered words still have the wrong numbers in the alphabetical list.
Thanks for this site!
Fixed now. Thanks Stephen!
In the alphabetical list, HOBBY, FLANK, FROZE, TONIC, WHALE and WHEEL remain off by 20.
Thanks for your work!
Thanks Stephen. I must have missed a “SAVE” when working CHRON first then ALPHA after. Should be good now.
Your numbers go from #759 to #780
FLYER has the incorrect number on the alphabetical list, it should be 759. Also, on the chronological list, after FLYER the sequential number is wrong. It jumps from 759 to 780. FLYER seems to be having a bad day.
Thanks,
Kent
You jumped from 759 to 780 in your numbering of the Wordle list. See below.

It’s so great that you do this work. Many thanks.
Thank you for this list, it is exactly what I was looking for. I did find a tiny issue: your puzzle numbers went from #759 to 780 instead of to #760.
Thanks!
The sequence is wrong — it has gone from #759 to #780 and up (#760-779 have been skipped).
Please turn off the 60-second meta refresh that you added since yesterday; it’s very annoying. I have disabled it in my browser so it prompts me whenever I open a page with such a refresh directive, but that’s a further inconvenience to other sites that use it more responsibly.
Sorry about that. Just adjusted to 24 hours instead of 1 minute. I got feedback that the list was not updating for weeks, and it turned out some Wordlers keep http://www.fiveforks.com/Wordle as an open tab and did not refresh. I installed a refresher plugin that defaulted to 1 minute. Just changed it to 24 hours. Thanks for feedback!
7/18/23…?
Fixed!
Happy Birthday! Game #446 on 9/8/22 has the wrong word listed. The answer was class, not clasp
Thank you Tamara! I screen cap my guesses each day as a back up record. On that day my third guess was CLASP, and I thought I had finished and updated the list the next day. But now I see the “P” was gray! Didn’t finish the race that day afterall…
Thanks for publishing this! Hands down the best Wordle archive on the web.
THANK YOU!
This exactly what I’ve been looking for.
Not in alphabetical order, please reorder:
CHARM / CHANT
COCOA / COAST
FISHY / FINER / FIRST
FLIRT / FLING
FRONT / FROCK
WALTZ / WACKY
Also: HOMER and UNZIP are out of order on your valuable list.
Thanks!!!
Thanks Ken. Should be all fixed now. I ended up using a spreadsheet to resort the ALPHA list. Will take extra care in my go-forward manual ALPHA placements.
First, I would like to thank you for creating and managing this list. My family and I use it every day. I would just like to point out that the alphabetical listing has some errors in it. It seems kind of picky but I’ve used the list a couple of times to verify that a word hasn’t been played yet only to realize that it HAS been played. It just wasn’t in the right place within the list. Here are the mistakes that I have found:
ALOFT and ALONE should be before ALOUD
CHANT should be before CHARD
COAST should be before COCOA
FARCE should be before FAULT
FISHY should be after FIRST
FLING should be before FLIRT
FROCK should be before FRONT
HAVOC should be before HEADY
HOMER should be before HORDE
RHINO and RHYME should be before RIPER
RUDDY should be before RUDER
SPIRE should be after SPILL
TAUNT should be after TASTY
UNZIP should be after UNTIE
WACKY should be before WALTZ
Thanks again for all your efforts!
Thanks Paul. I manually update the CRON column each day (harder to mess that up) then copy paste the word # into the ALPHA list. I’ll have to be more careful there!
Your dates for the last three days should be from 06 (June) not 07 (July)! Thanks ?
Thank you Susan. Sometimes I get overzealous adding one to numbers.
For 5/12 “snack” and 5/13 “acrid” both are numbered #692, which throws off the rest of the numbering system going forward.
Fixed! Thanks Beverly!
Hi!
I didn’t see a place to start a new comment so I am replying here. WALTZ should come after WACKY in your chronological list.
Thank you so much for maintaining this list for Wordle nation!
Corrected. Thank you Diane!
I love your list… use it every day. I couldn’t imagine doing Wordle without it. That’s why I need to take a minute to inform you that a mistake was made on 5/13. You apparently numbered the word for that day with the number from the previous day, so now your listings are one number behind, as illustrated below:
Chronological
GRIEF #698 05/19/23
SHORN #697 05/18/23
PLANK #696 05/17/23
LATTE #695 05/16/23
CANOE #694 05/15/23
SCARF #693 05/14/23
ACRID #692 05/13/23
SNACK #692 05/12/23
It really stumped me for a few minutes, until I backtracked a few days and caught it. I hope this helps, and I hope you continue providing this great service.
Thanks again,
Patrick Hall
Thanks Patrick. I realized it knowing we had hit a 700 milestone yesterday. Thanks for digging back and spotting the problem!
There is a typing error on 5/9 game #689 COCOA. The list says #687
Thanks Patricia!
Am I Geezing or did you skip a day? Possibly #686 on 5/3?
Sorry, #683
Jo: I had recorded GUPPY but left off the # on the alpha side. CHRON side was correct. Updated! Thanks!
GUPPY #683 05/03/23
I believe HORDE is missing. It was it was May 3. GUPPY was May 4.
Thanks Amy! Fixed!
I rely on your list whenever I play Wordle. It’s invaluable – thanks!
Especially on days like CIRCA!
Please check wordle Chrono numbers. You seem to have skipped ten. 661 is listed 671.
Thanks Jo! I had jumped from 660 to 670, so I’ve gone back and reset all those numbers. Thanks for visiting!
Thanks. I use your list to keep a spreadsheet for a group of family that plays wordle daily. Thanks for maintaining it!
