5 Letter Words With A and E

A long set: 2,716 5 letter words with a and e, which is too many to read straight through. Answer-list words come first, everyday words next, and the rare tail after that.

A and E in any order leaves 2,716 candidates. ABASE, ABATE, ABBEY come first.

Everyday English accounts for 216 of these 2,716 words. The rest are worth reading before you need them.

Best First Guesses

With 2,716 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.

LASER: takes 2,716 down to 444 at worst.
LATER: down to 454. It is on the answer list.
RATES: down to 464.

What These Words Have in Common

E is the ending to expect here, closing 847 of these words. The company these words keep: R (873), S (794) and L (653). Everyday English covers 216 of these 2,716 words. The remainder are valid plays that rarely reach conversation, so guess from the letters above rather than from the bottom of the list.

FAQs

Can a Wordle answer contain A and E?

Yes. AFTER, GREAT and STATE 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. STATE and LEAVE are two of them. Crossing off a letter after one grey square is the quickest way to miss an answer like these.

Is ACERB really a word?

Yes. Sour or bitter in taste. It is not on the Wordle answer list, so keep it for Scrabble.

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

AFTER. 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. ZOOEA and ZONAE 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?

ABASE, ABLED and AFIRE. 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.
