Past tenses and comparatives both feed 5 letter words with D, E and R, so a Wordle player has familiar endings to test.
Their shared habit is an E standing in the fourth position, as in TRIED, UNDER and OLDER.
In crossword grids, though, DEBAR, meaning to keep out, is the rarer word that breaks the habit.

Can a Wordle answer contain D, E and R?

Do any of these use the same letter twice?
Yes. ORDER and DRESS 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.

UNDER. 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 YERDS 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?
AIDER, DEBAR and DEMUR. 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.
