278 of them have been answers, among them EARLY, LEVEL, LARGE, CLOSE and LEAVE.

What 5 letter words have E and L in any order?

1,947 of them, including WHILE, PLACE, LATER, WHOLE and LEAST.

Can a Wordle answer contain E and L?

Yes. WHILE, PLACE and LATER 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. LEVEL 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 AXILE really a word?

Yes. Relating to or attached to the axis. It is not on the Wordle answer list, so keep it for Scrabble.

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

WHILE. 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. ZOLLE and ZOEAL 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, AMBLE and BALER. 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.
