Word Solver
TurnWord™ Word Solver is the TurnWord AI assistant for any five-letter word guessing puzzle — it turns
your constraints into the top-ranked suggestion, so every guess moves you closer to the answer.
Run it alongside your puzzle game: mirror each guess and its color feedback here, and Word Solver is ready with the best next word whenever you want one.
Use the suggestions when you need them, or play your own choice and let Word Solver keep tracking. Word Solver never knows your puzzle's target word — everything it knows comes from the feedback you enter.
The Basic Workflow
You run Word Solver in parallel alongside your puzzle game:- Make a guess in your puzzle game.
- Enter that same word in Word Solver. Word Solver pre-fills likely tile feedback — review and correct any tiles that don't match what your puzzle returned.
- Submit the guess. Word Solver validates the entry and updates its analysis.
- Tap AI Suggestions 💡 to reveal the next AI-ranked suggestion. Each tap reveals one more, up to 5. Use one when you need it, or play your own choice.
- Repeat until the puzzle is solved.
Before your first guess: tap AI Suggestions 💡 to see Word Solver's top 5 recommended
opening words — ready before you enter anything.
Setting the Feedback
C
Green — Correct: Right letter, right position. Keep it there.
P
Yellow — Present: Right letter, wrong position. Move it next guess.
A
Gray — Absent: Letter not in word.
AI Suggestions
Tap AI Suggestions 💡 after submitting a guess to reveal suggestions one at a time — each tap shows the next ranked word, up to 5 per guess. Each Suggestion includes a Definition
, so you can make an informed choice even when a word looks unfamiliar.
Suggestions are ranked by cumulative AI score, combining three components:Component 1 — Neural Network
Trained on 100,000+ games. Evaluates the strategic value of each candidate.
Component 2 — Word Frequency
How commonly the word appears in puzzles — likely answers surface first.
Component 3 — Letter Patterns
N-gram analysis of letter sequences informed by game context.
How scoring shifts over time: Early in a session the top suggestion is optimized for information gain — it may not look like the answer. As the candidate pool narrows it shifts toward genuine answer candidates — except for a late Probe.
Occasionally a suggestion is a Probe — a word that can't be the answer.
When the words still in play look alike, differing in only a letter or two (BOUND, FOUND, HOUND, etc, or BRING, CLING, WRING, etc),
and there are more of them than guesses left, trying them one at a time can run out your board,
so the AI may suggest a Probe or two, each testing several of those letters at once.
A suggested Probe is marked Probe.

Configurable from 4 to 10 in the Settings ⚙ Menu, with a default of 6. Changing this option restarts the app.Guess Rules
Matches Word Solver's rules to how strictly your puzzle game enforces its guesses. Set in the Settings ⚙ Menu. The default is Easy. Changing this option restarts the app.| Mode | Green position | Yellow present | Yellow position forbidden | Gray forbidden |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Easy (0) (default) | No | No | No | No |
| Hard (1) | Yes | Yes | No | No |
| Strict (2) | Yes | Yes | No | Yes |
| Strictest (3) | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Strictest also caps each letter's count at the number the answer is known to contain (not shown as a column).
- Easy — No rules enforced. Any valid word accepted.
- Hard — Green letters must stay in position. Yellow letters must be used again somewhere in the next word.
- Strict — Everything in Hard, plus gray letters can't be used again.
- Strictest — Everything in Strict, plus a yellow letter can't return to its old spot and letter counts are capped.
Note: Guess Rules govern which guesses Word Solver accepts from you.
AI suggestions respect your current Guess Rules: words that could still be the answer always obey the full Strictest
constraints, and where your rules allow it the AI may also suggest a Probe — a word that can't be the answer
but tests several letters at once to split the remaining possibilities.
Undo
Undo ↩ steps back through your guess history one entry at a time. Use it to correct a feedback entry or explore what the suggestion list would look like if you had played a different word. You can step back all the way to the beginning to restart from scratch.New Game 
New Game resets the session entirely, returning Word Solver to its full starting
state ready for a new puzzle session.Definition
Every suggestion includes a Definition , so you can make an informed choice even when a word looks unfamiliar.
You can also see a definition for accepted guess by tapping on the row, and then on the Definition icon that appears.Keyboard and Input
You may type using a physical keyboard or the on-screen keyboard. Enter submits a guess; Backspace removes the last letter entered.Tips
- Use a strong opener. Tap AI Suggestions 💡 before your first guess — PLATE, STARE, STALE, SLATE, and CLASP are chosen for maximum information on the first guess.
- Always verify pre-filled feedback tiles before submitting. Word Solver infers what it can, but your puzzle's actual output is the ground truth. Any mismatch corrupts the suggestion list.
- Set Guess Rules to match how freely you have been playing. AI suggestion quality is identical across all levels, except that looser rules leave more room for a Probe — otherwise Guess Rules only control which guesses Word Solver accepts from you.
- Use suggestions as guidance, not instruction. Understanding why a word ranks where it does is more valuable than following the list blindly.
- Pay attention to how the ranking shifts over time. Early suggestions are optimized for information gain. As the candidate pool narrows they shift toward genuine answer candidates — except for a late Probe, which trades a guess for information when the remaining answers are too alike to guess one by one.
- Use Undo ↩ deliberately, not just to fix mistakes. Submit a guess, observe how the suggestion list changes, then undo and try a different word.
- If suggestions start to look wrong, check your feedback history. A single incorrect tile can send the list in the wrong direction. Use Undo ↩ to step back and correct it.
When you're stuck on your daily word puzzle, plenty of sites offer
help — daily hints, answer reveals, five-letter word searches.
They all give everyone the same answer. TurnWord™ Word Solver gives you the best next guess for your specific game.
Hint sites know today's puzzle. Word Solver knows your game — every guess you've made,
every piece of color feedback you've received — and uses
all of it to surface the one word most likely to move you
toward the answer.
It is the AI that daily word guessing puzzles don't have.

Common Questions
Does Word Solver work with Wordle?
Yes. Mirror each guess and its colors from Wordle or any five-letter word game and the AI suggests the next word. TurnWord is not affiliated with Wordle or The New York Times.
How many suggestions do I get?
Up to five per turn, ranked best first, each with a definition.
Does it know the answer?
No. It ranks words by what your colors have revealed, so the more guesses you mirror, the sharper the suggestions.
What are the Guess Rules for?
They match the solver to your game. Easy accepts any valid unused word, the way Wordle normally plays; Hard, Strict and Strictest add constraints. The default is Easy.
What is a probe?
A suggested word that cannot be the answer but tests several letters at once. It is offered under Easy rules when the remaining answers differ by only one letter.
Can I undo a guess?
Yes. Undo steps back one guess at a time, all the way to the start, and New clears the board.
