Data sources

Independently sourced and processed general English word data.

What the dataset is

GuessNudge uses an openly licensed general English word list, filtered down to five-letter entries and processed independently. It is not an official Wordle answer list, and we do not scrape or extract data from The New York Times or from competing solver websites.

How it is cleaned

Only entries with exactly five alphabetic English letters are kept.
Casing is normalised internally.
Duplicates and malformed entries are removed.
Clearly offensive terms are filtered where reasonable.
The result is bundled for fast, fully client-side use.

Ranking

GuessNudge applies its own filtering and ranking algorithms on top of this data. A word appearing in our list is never a guarantee that it is the answer to your puzzle.
