Enter your known letters and constraints to find the perfect 3-letter word.
Green: Letter is correct and in right position
Yellow: Letter is in word but wrong position
Gray: Letter is not in the word
Not every word game sticks to five letters. This 3-letter Wordle solver is built for shorter Wordle-style spinoffs and quick word games built for kids or fast rounds. Enter what you know, green, yellow, and gray letters, and get a filtered list of every valid 3-letter word that still fits, ranked to help you close out the puzzle in fewer guesses.
1. Enter your green letters. Place each confirmed, correctly positioned letter into its matching box.
2. Enter your yellow letters. These letters are somewhere in the 3-letter word, just not where you first guessed them.
3. Enter your gray letters. Add every letter your guesses have already ruled out completely.
4. Click Find Solutions. The solver filters the full 3-letter word list down to the answers that match every clue, ranked by which guess reveals the most new information.
Update your entries after every new guess. With longer or shorter word lengths the remaining list shrinks just as fast as it does in standard Wordle, so most puzzles are workable within four or five rounds.
A strong opener does more work than a random guess. A few solid 3-letter starting words:
ARE, ATE, ORE
Three-letter puzzles narrow down fast, so an opener that mixes a vowel with two common consonants, like ARE or ATE, tends to confirm or rule out several letters in a single guess.

Yes. Several Wordle-style spinoffs let you choose a custom word length, including 3 letters, instead of the standard five. This solver applies the same green, yellow, and gray logic to that word length.
Yes. Green means correct and in position, yellow means the correct letter is in the wrong spot; and gray means the letter isn't in the word. Only the word length changes.
