Tares
Transparent strategy for Wordle and five-letter word puzzles.
Tares is a private strategy analyzer for Wordle and other five-letter word puzzles. Enter the clues from your board, see the possible answers that remain, compare recommended guesses, and learn why each suggestion is useful.
Why get Tares?
Word puzzles like the New York Times Wordle are more fun when you can see the logic behind the board. Tares helps you move beyond guessing by showing which answers are still possible, which next guesses are strongest, and why those guesses help. Use it during a puzzle when you want a smarter next move, or after a puzzle when you want to understand the strategy you missed.
How Tares helps
Optimal vs Practical Mode
Choose Optimal mode when you want the mathematically strongest guess for reducing uncertainty. Choose Practical mode when you want recommendations that balance information gain with words that are more natural to play. Wordle and other five-letter word games often use common words, while a purely optimal guess may choose a rarer probe word if it separates the remaining answers well.
Hard Mode
Hard Mode keeps recommendations within stricter rules: green letters must stay fixed, and yellow letters must be reused in new positions. Normal mode can suggest probe words that gather more information, even when those words would not be allowed in Hard Mode.
Tares Pro
Tares Pro unlocks deeper analysis, including the top 100 guesses, Optimal and Practical modes, Normal and Hard Mode settings, board themes, full explanation details, and support for multiple language dictionaries.
