Both letters yellow after an early guess? For 5 letter words with O and Y, the next step is working out how far apart they belong.
Apart is the answer most of the time: the O follows the opening consonant and the Y ends the word, as in MONEY and SORRY.
To confirm that shape, try a guess like SORRY, which spells the O second and finishes on the Y.

Can a Wordle answer contain O and Y?
Yes. MONEY, TODAY and STORY 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. SORRY and WORRY are two of them. Crossing off a letter after one grey square is the quickest way to miss an answer like these.
Is ANOMY really a word?
Yes. Lack of moral standards in a society. It is not on the Wordle answer list, so keep it for Scrabble.
Which one has the best chance of just being the answer?
MONEY. 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. ZOOTY and YUPON 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?
BONEY, BOOZY and COYLY. 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.
