This is a pattern filter for English words. It does not apply Wordle's colour rules, such as a yellow letter being ruled out of one position. Words come from the ENABLE list; see how the lists are made.

More pattern lists

How this list is made: words come from the ENABLE word list (compiled around 2000, so some newer words are missing). “Common” means the word is in SCOWL size 50 or below. Plurals and verb forms are identified with AGID. Details on the About page and sources on the Credits page.
