Questions.

Common questions about the Wordle Helper API.

Read the docs →

Which plan fits 10,000 Wordle solver lookups a month?

The Starter plan easily covers that volume. Each query uses 2 credits, so 10,000 lookups require 20,000 credits, leaving the vast majority of Starter's monthly credit pool intact. On Starter, lookups work out to about $0.0003 per call, or $0.30 per 1,000 calls. The Free plan includes 100 calls each month.

Are the parsed filter summaries included on the Free plan?

The Free plan returns matching word suggestions, total match count, and the pattern, but omits the detailed green, yellow, and gray filter objects. Upgrading to Starter or any paid plan unlocks full access to these filter breakdown fields.

How are the suggested words ranked?

Suggestions are ranked based on letter frequency analysis. The API prioritizes valid five-letter words that contain the most common letters, giving players an optimal guessing strategy to eliminate remaining unknowns quickly.

What clue formats does Wordle Helper accept?

You can supply exact letter positions, misplaced letters with positions to exclude, and eliminated gray letters. You can also pass a wildcard pattern using underscores for unknown slots and cap the total number of suggestions returned.

What happens if no dictionary words match the clues?

If your combined clues eliminate all possible five-letter words, matchCount returns zero and the suggestions array is returned empty. The pattern still reflects the parameters you submitted, while applied filter fields are included on paid plans.

Request parameters — GET /v1/wordlehelper

Sent in the query string. Premium parameters are accepted on every plan but only take effect on plans that include them. Anything not listed here is dropped rather than passed through.

Optional

Parameter	Type	Example	Description
`green`Optional	string	`A1,E5`	Correct letters with positions (e.g., A1 means A at position 1)
`yellow`Optional	string	`R2,O3`	Letters in word but wrong position (e.g., R2 means R not at position 2)
`gray`Optional	string	`STLN`	Letters not in the word
`pattern`Optional	string	`A___E`	Pattern with known letters (use _ for unknown) length 5-5
`limit`Optional	integer	`25`	Maximum number of suggestions default 25 · range 1-100

Example request

1
2

curl "https://api.apiverve.com/v1/wordlehelper?green=A1%2CE5&yellow=R&gray=STLN&pattern=A___E&limit=25" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Authentication

Send your key in the x-api-key header. That is the only auth step — no token exchange, and no per-endpoint scope to configure.

Header	When	Value
`x-api-key`Required	Every request	Your API key. Header names are case-insensitive, so `X-API-Key` is the same header.
`Authorization`Alternate	Instead of the above	`Bearer <key>` — for clients that only expose bearer auth. Resolves to the same account and the same billing.

401 is the only auth verdict

A 401 means the key is missing, invalid or expired. A 403 means the key is valid but not permitted here — blocked by a key restriction or an IP allow-list. Running out of credits is a 429.

Response — GET /v1/wordlehelper

Every APIVerve endpoint returns the same three top-level keys, so one response handler covers your whole integration: status, error and data. Only data changes shape.

Sample response

{
  "status": "ok",
  "error": null,
  "data": {
    "matchCount": 11,
    "suggestions": [
      "adore",
      "afore",
      "afire",
      "argue",
      "aerie",
      "azure",
      "aurae",
      "arame",
      "agree",
      "aware",
      "areae"
    ],
    "filters": {
      "green": {
        "0": "a",
        "4": "e"
      },
      "yellow": [
        "r"
      ],
      "gray": [
        "s",
        "t",
        "l",
        "n"
      ]
    },
    "pattern": "A___E"
  }
}

Response fields

Paths are relative to data. Premium fields are absent rather than zeroed on plans that do not include them, so check for presence instead of comparing to 0.

Field	Type	Example	Description
`matchCount`	number	`11`	Total number of matching words found
`suggestions`	array	`[adore, ...]`	Array of matching 5-letter word suggestions
`filters`	object	`{...}`	The constraints as the API parsed them, echoed back so you can see what was actually applied
`green`Premium	object	`{...}`	Object mapping positions to correct letters
`0`Premium	string	`"a"`
`4`Premium	string	`"e"`
`yellow`Premium	array	`[r]`	Array of letters in word but wrong position
`gray`Premium	array	`[s, ...]`	Array of eliminated letters not in word
`pattern`	string	`"A___E"`	Pattern with known letters and underscores

Response headers

Every response carries your balance, so your own code always knows where it stands without polling anything. All four are exposed to browsers through CORS.

Header	What it carries
`x-api-remaining-credits`	Credits left in the current cycle
`x-api-credits-used`	Credits spent in the current cycle
`x-api-max-credits`	The allowance for the cycle
`x-api-version`	Version of the endpoint that answered

Errors

Read the HTTP status first, then error for the specific reason. The body names the parameter that has to change.

Status	Meaning	What to do
`400`	Input was rejected	Read `error`; it names the parameter that has to change.
`401`	Key missing or invalid	Check the header name and the key value.
`403`	Key valid, but not permitted here	A key restriction or an IP allow-list — never a bad key.
`429`	Rate limited, or out of credits	Read `error` to tell them apart, then back off or top up.

What a call costs — 2 credits per call

Credits are shared across every APIVerve API — one balance, one key, one bill. Failed requests never count against it, so a rejected input costs nothing.

Plan	Per month	Credits	Wordle Helper calls	Per 1,000 calls
Free	Free	200	100	Free
Starter	$29.99	200,000	100,000	$0.30
Pro	$99.99	1,000,000	500,000	$0.20
Mega	$299.99	4,000,000	2,000,000	$0.15

Calls are what the credits buy at this API's rate — spend them here, on any of the other APIs, or across both. Nothing is reserved per endpoint.
