Can a Wordle answer have BA side by side?

Yes. BASIC, BASIS and URBAN all sit on the Wordle answer list, so the pattern is worth playing for rather than ruling out.

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

Yes. A unit of current equal to 10 amperes. It is not on the Wordle answer list, so keep it for Scrabble.

Yes. Every word on this list is a legal guess, including the ones that look wrong. YABAS and WHIBA are among them. Only a smaller set sits on the answer list, and those are the ones marked in green.

ABASE, BALER and BASTE. 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.
