5 Letter Words Ending in TE

197 5 letter words ending in te, short enough to scan in full. Answer-list words sit at the top, everyday words behind them.

Once T and E line up as the last pair, 5 letter words ending in TE turn on the vowel ahead of the T.

There, I or A turns up more than any other vowel, as WHITE and STATE confirm on a Wordle grid.
