How to use this list

If you already know the last letter is R, work from the possible-answers list rather than the full one. Wordle will accept any of the 737 words above, but only 212 of them can win — so guessing outside that shorter list is spending a turn on information rather than a chance to finish.

Cross-reference with our past Wordle answers archive too. Solutions never repeat, so any word that has already been used can be crossed off no matter how well it fits.

Frequently asked questions

How many 5 letter words ending with R are there?
Wordle accepts 737 of them as guesses, and 212 of those can be the answer.

Are all of these real words?
They come from Wordle’s own accepted-guess dictionary, which is broader than everyday English and includes some genuinely obscure entries. Every one will be accepted by the game.

Why are the two lists different sizes?
Wordle deliberately separates what you may guess from what the answer can be, so that obscure words stay playable without ever being the solution.

Do Wordle answers ever repeat?
No. Once a word has been used it is retired, which is why the archive of past answers is worth checking.
