The voice stops on a D between open vowels, and that alternation is how 5 letter words with A, D and E sound when read aloud.
Most commonly the D comes last, after an E in fourth position, as in BAKED and DAZED.
Beyond those familiar spellings, DEBAR, meaning to shut someone out, is a rarer word worth adding to a vocabulary.

Can a Wordle answer contain A, D and E?

Do any of these use the same letter twice?
Yes. ADDED and AHEAD are two of them. Crossing off a letter after one grey square is the quickest way to miss an answer like these.
Is ARDEB really a word?
Yes. A unit of dry measure used in Egypt. It is not on the Wordle answer list, so keep it for Scrabble.
Which one has the best chance of just being the answer?
DEATH. 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. ZERDA and ZEDAS 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?
ABLED, AIDER and BEADY. 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.
