5 Letter Words With N as the Second Letter

The 629 5 letter words with n as the second letter, 87 of them still able to come up as the answer. Sorted by what each guess rules out rather than by alphabet.

A guess that lights up N in the second square leaves the first square as the puzzle inside 5 letter words with N as the second letter.

Both KNOWN and KNIFE begin with a silent K in that first square, written but not pronounced.

Should a vowel fail there, test the K, and keep ENTER in mind for a crossword clue.

Can a Wordle answer have N as the second letter?

Yes. UNDER, UNTIL and KNOWN 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. KNOWN and UNION are two of them. Crossing off a letter after one grey square is the quickest way to miss an answer like these.

Is ANKUS really a word?

Yes. An elephant goad with a sharp spike and a hook. It is not on the Wordle answer list, so keep it for Scrabble.

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

UNDER. 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. UNWRY and UNWON 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?

ANNUL, ANTIC and ENDOW. 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.
