Yellow tiles for E, I and L narrow a Wordle row to 5 letter words with E, I and L, and the ending is what to test first.
There an LE finish is common, as in WHILE and SMILE, with the I a square ahead of the L.
Should the LE turn green, the first squares need the I and whichever consonants precede it.

Can a Wordle answer contain E, I and L?
Yes. WHILE, FIELD and ALIVE 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. TITLE and BIBLE 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. ZIZEL and YLIKE 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?
BELIE, ELFIN and ELIDE. 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.
