How to copy a word-game board into the boxes
- Blue (right spot) tiles go in row 1, in the same position.
- Amber (wrong spot) tiles go in row 2, under the position where they appeared. If a letter was amber in several guesses, put it in each of those boxes: the word must contain it, just not in any box it is listed under.
- Grey (not in word) letters all go in box 3. If you typed a letter twice and only one copy lit up, the grey copy just means the letter appears once; the finder never rules out a letter you also marked blue or amber, so it is safe either way.
WordMaster uses blue and amber instead of green and yellow so colour-blind players can tell them apart. Green and yellow from other Wordle-style games map the same way.
Three games, solved with the finder
These use the game's own scoring. Before the first guess all 6,244 five-letter words are possible; each row shows how many are left after that guess.
| Guess | Result | Left (common) |
|---|---|---|
| CRANE | CRANE | 36 (20) BLANK, PLANS, PLANT, STAND, THANK, GIANT… |
| SLANT | SLANT | 1 (1) |
| Guess | Result | Left (common) |
|---|---|---|
| CRANE | CRANE | 67 (37) HORSE, ROUTE, SERVE, STORE, THERE, THREE… |
| SPOIL | SPOIL | 3 (3) STORE, SWORE, SHORE… |
| SHORE | SHORE | 1 (1) |
| Guess | Result | Left (common) |
|---|---|---|
| CRANE | CRANE | 738 (436) BOOKS, BUILD, BUILT, DIGIT, DITTO, DOUBT… |
| LIGHT | LIGHT | 32 (12) FIZZY, DISKS, DIZZY, JIFFY, KIOSK, KIWIS… |
| DUMPY | DUMPY | 4 (2) VIVID, WIDOW… |
As the VIVID game shows, an all-grey first row is not wasted: ruling out five letters at once still cuts thousands of candidates to hundreds, and the next guess should use five fresh letters. Answers with a repeated letter, like the two Vs and two Is in VIVID, tend to leave a few candidates standing until late.

Where the words come from
The search covers about 52,000 English words of 3 to 8 letters, taken from SCOWL, Kevin Atkinson's spell-checker word lists, without proper names, abbreviations or Scrabble-only entries. Every one is accepted as a guess in the WordMaster games. SCOWL grades words from 10 (everyday) to 70 (rare); words at level 35 or below, plus every WordMaster answer, are listed first as common words, most frequent first.
