Can a Wordle answer contain E, R and Y?

Do any of these use the same letter twice?

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

EVERY. 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. YTTER and YRNEH 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?

GAYER, LEERY and REEDY. 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.
