Can a Wordle answer start with PR?

Do any of these use the same letter twice?
Yes. PRESS and PRIOR are two of them. Crossing off a letter after one grey square is the quickest way to miss an answer like these.

Yes. Lacking wit or imagination. It is not on the Wordle answer list, so keep it for Scrabble.

PRICE. 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. PRYAN and PRUTA 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?
PREEN, PRIED and PRUDE. 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.
