FAQs
What are 5 letter words with IS?
There are 567 of them. The everyday ones include ISSUE, VISIT, BASIS, RAISE and EXIST.
How many 5 letter words have IS in them?
567 in total, and 42 of them are on the Wordle answer list.
Which 5 letter words with IS are Wordle answers?
42 of them have been answers, among them NOISE, TWIST, WRIST, ARISE and DAISY.
What 5 letter words have IS in the middle?
274 of them, including VISIT, RAISE, EXIST, NOISE and TWIST.
Is this the same as 5 Letter Words With I and S?
No. Every word here keeps IS together, in that order. ARISE does, ACIDS does not. 5 Letter Words With I and S takes those letters anywhere in the word.
Can a Wordle answer have IS side by side?
Yes. ISSUE, VISIT and BASIS 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. ISSUE and VISIT are two of them. Crossing off a letter after one grey square is the quickest way to miss an answer like these.
Is AGISM really a word?
Yes. Discrimination against middle-aged and elderly people. It is not on the Wordle answer list, so keep it for Scrabble.
Which one has the best chance of just being the answer?
ISSUE. 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. ZORIS and ZOIST 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?
FOIST, JOIST and MISER. 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.
