5 Letter Words Ending in N for Wordle, among them ACORN, ADMIN, ADORN

Wordle leaves plenty unsolved when the last square turns green on N, and 5 letter words that end with N depend on the neighbouring letter.

Nearly always the neighbour is a vowel, and A turns up ahead of the others, as in HUMAN and WOMAN.

An A in the fourth square is therefore the first letter worth testing, though a Scrabble player would rather spend an X on VIXEN.

Can a Wordle answer end in N?

Yes. AGAIN, WOMEN and GIVEN 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. AGAIN and KNOWN are two of them. Crossing off a letter after one grey square is the quickest way to miss an answer like these.

Is ALGIN really a word?

Yes. A gum used especially as a thickener or emulsifier. It is not on the Wordle answer list, so keep it for Scrabble.

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

AGAIN. 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. ZYMIN and ZOGAN 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?

ASHEN, AXION and DEIGN. 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.
