5 Letter Words Ending in E for Wordle, among them ABASE, ABATE, ABIDE

A final E narrows the guessing to 5 letter words ending in E, yet most of the work still lies in the middle squares of the grid.

Silent in speech, the E lengthens the vowel before it, so WHILE has a long I and THOSE a long O.

When a crossword answer has a long vowel in the middle, then, a silent E at the end is worth pencilling in.

2,362 in total, and 416 of them are on the Wordle answer list.

Which 5 letter words ending in E are Wordle answers?

What 5 letter words start with S and end in E?

278 of them, including STATE, SINCE, SPACE, SHARE and SENSE.

Can a Wordle answer end in E?

Yes. THERE, THESE and WHERE all sit on the Wordle answer list, so the pattern is worth playing for rather than ruling out.

Do any of these use the same letter twice?

Yes. THERE and THESE are two of them. Crossing off a letter after one grey square is the quickest way to miss an answer like these.

Is ARAME really a word?

Yes. An edible seaweed with a mild flavor. It is not on the Wordle answer list, so keep it for Scrabble.

Which one has the best chance of just being the answer?

THERE. 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.

Are all of these accepted as guesses?

Yes. Every word on this list is a legal guess, including the ones that look wrong. ZOWEE and ZORSE are among them. Only a smaller set sits on the answer list, and those are the ones marked in green.

Which of these would most players overlook?

ABASE, AFIRE and AMBLE. All three are on the answer list, and none is a word you would reach for early, so they are worth remembering once the obvious guesses run out.
