Answer List

Definition

The answer list is the subset of valid words eligible to be solutions. It is smaller than the guess list and skews toward common, familiar words, which is why frequency is a useful tiebreaker.

Why it matters

Understanding that answers are curated and common helps you weight candidate likelihood realistically.

Examples

• Plurals and obscure words are often eligible guesses but rare answers.
• Familiar everyday words dominate the answer list.

Best practices

• Favour common candidates as likely answers.
• Reserve obscure words for forced situations.
