128ordle Word Checker
The interactive word checker requires JavaScript. The examples and word-bank explanation below remain available without it.
Check a word before you play
Enter a word in the checker to see whether this version of 128ordle accepts it as a guess. It checks the same word bank used by the game, except for offensive words, which the checker never confirms or displays. It does not look at today’s puzzle or tell you whether the word is an answer.
Accepted guesses and possible answers are different
The accepted-guess set combines the general guess list with the standard, external, and Hard answer lists. Standard play draws answers from the standard pool; Hard mode draws from a separate pool. A word can therefore be accepted as a guess without being a possible answer in your current mode.
Five letters is necessary, but not sufficient
Guesses must contain exactly five letters from A to Z and appear in the game’s accepted set. Capitalisation does not matter. Spaces inside a word, accents, punctuation, and hyphens do not count as letters. A real dictionary word may still be absent: this game ships a finite word bank, not a complete English dictionary.
Examples you can try
CRANE, SLATE, STARE, AROSE, ADIEU, and RAISE are accepted guesses. APPLE demonstrates that repeated letters are allowed. CAT is too short; ICE-CREAM contains punctuation and is too long. Being accepted does not make a word a strong choice for the clues on your boards.
Other word lengths and languages
This page covers the classic five-letter English game. The other word lengths (3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 letters) and the ten other language editions each have their own answer list and accepted-guess list, described on their own word list pages, such as 128ordle.com/4-letter/word-list, /8-letter/word-list, /es/lista-de-palabras, /fr/liste-de-mots and /pt/lista-de-palavras. The checker on this page tests the classic list only.
If your guess is rejected
Check the spelling and letter count first, then use the checker. If the checker accepts the word but your game rejects it, check whether you already guessed it in that run. This checker tests dictionary membership only. For a suspected missing word, send its spelling, the mode, and your browser details to [email protected]; please avoid including active puzzle answers in public reports.
