A Wordle row that ends in green V and E leaves the solver among 5 letter words ending in VE, with the third square still open.
There, A outnumbers every other letter, as in BRAVE and LEAVE, where it precedes the V directly.
With that in mind, BRAVE tests that A at once, leaving later guesses free to try the other vowels if it turns grey.
