Party planning and paperwork supply the best-known 5 letter words starting with PA, and in Wordle the trouble comes at the final square.
A final S is tempting there, since plurals such as PAIRS and PARTS end in it, yet plurals are left out of Wordle answers.
Better, then, to end the guess on a Y or an R, as PARTY and PAPER do, both everyday answers.
