5 Letter Words With Double Letters with answers like ABACK, ABASE, ABATE

Players who drop a confirmed letter too soon miss answers that repeat it, which is the trouble with 5 letter words with double letters.

The repeat is not always side by side: STILL doubles its L, while THERE keeps an R between its E's.

After a green E, then, keep a second E in mind for the unsolved squares, whether next to it or further along.

What 5 letter words have double L?

296 of them, including STILL, SMALL, SHALL, ALLOW and FULLY.

Can a Wordle answer be a word with double letters?

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

Is AALII really a word?

Yes. A small Hawaiian tree with hard dark wood. 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. ZUZIM and ZUDDA 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, ANNUL and ARDOR. 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.
