When a Wordle row finishes on a green D and E, the answer belongs among 5 letter words ending in DE, with the earlier vowel unknown.
Of the vowels, I precedes the D more commonly than A or O, as in PRIDE and SLIDE.
So a guess with I third tests the strongest candidate, and a miss sends the next guess to A, as in TRADE.

TRADE. It is the most ordinary word here that the answer list carries, so it is the guess to make when you want to win the round rather than learn from it.
