Ordering the letters is the real work in 5 letter words with E, L and T once Wordle has confirmed all of them.
Some of them end in -LE with the T earlier in the word, as in TABLE and STYLE.
Working backwards, test the LE as a final pair, then move the T toward the front until it turns green.

FAQs
What are 5 letter words with L E and T?
There are 302 of them. The everyday ones include LATER, LEAST, STYLE, TABLE and HOTEL.
How many 5 letter words have L E and T in them?
302 in total, and 53 of them are on the Wordle answer list.

What 5 letter words have L E and T in any order?
302 of them, including LATER, LEAST, STYLE, TABLE and HOTEL.
Can a Wordle answer contain E, L and T?
Yes. LATER, LEAST and STYLE 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 TELLS are two of them. Crossing off a letter after one grey square is the quickest way to miss an answer like these.
Is BLATE really a word?
Yes. Cry plaintively. It is not on the Wordle answer list, so keep it for Scrabble.
Which one has the best chance of just being the answer?
LATER. 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. ZLOTE and YELTS 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?
BETEL, BLEAT and CLEAT. 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.
