How to narrow this list

A word must include S and U, but this clue does not settle their positions. A word with only one of these letters is excluded. Repeated copies are allowed, so compare the duplicate-letter examples below if your feedback sets a limit. For a contiguous pair in a specific order, use a sequence filter instead.

6 answers repeat a letter

GUESS, ISSUE, SAUNA, and SULLY are among the repeated-letter choices. Words without a repeated letter include ABUSE, ADUST, and AMUSE.

A gray copy of a letter does not always exclude every copy. If another copy is green or yellow, check the minimum and maximum number the feedback allows.
