5 Letter Words With Two E's

1,379 5 letter words with 2 e's, listed strongest first, so the top of the list is the part that matters on a live board.

Of the 79 everyday words on this page, 58 could also be the answer.

Best First Guesses

With 1,379 words to get through, the first guess decides most of the round. Each one below is on this list, so it could be the answer outright, and the number beside it is how many words would still be left in the worst case.

RESET: takes 1,379 down to 140 at worst. It is on the answer list.
SERVE: down to 150. It is on the answer list.
DENSE: down to 170. It is on the answer list.

What These Words Have in Common

596 of them end in E, about a third of the list. If you need a second letter to test, S (464), R (451) and T (272) appear here more than any others. 79 words out of 1,379 would pass unnoticed in conversation. That thin share is why the letter counts above matter more here than the list itself.

FAQs

Can a Wordle answer be a word with two e's?

Yes. THERE, THESE and WHERE 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. THERE and THESE are two of them. Crossing off a letter after one grey square is the quickest way to miss an answer like these.

Is BEDEW really a word?

Yes. Cover with drops of dew or as with dew. It is not on the Wordle answer list, so keep it for Scrabble.

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

THERE. 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. ZOWEE and ZOEAE 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?

BEGET, BELIE and BETEL. 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.
