5 Letter Words With R and S with Wordle answers like ARISE, AROSE, ARSON

Once both letters come back yellow, 5 letter words with R and S raise the question of which edge suits the S.

The front is a familiar answer, and START, STORY and SHORT all begin with the S and spell the R fourth.

Hence a guess spelling the S first and the R fourth tests both letters at once, as STORY does.

CRESS, DROSS 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.
