5 Letter Words With Y in the Middle

336 5 letter words with y in the middle, of which 29 could still come up as the answer. Those are marked, the rest are ordered behind them.

With one square already with Y in the middle, 336 words remain. ABYSS, BAYOU, BUYER are the strongest of them, and 29 are possible answers, shown in green.

All 336 are here, ordered by what each one rules out rather than alphabetically.

The last square lands on E more than any other letter: 66 words, about one in five of the set. The company these words keep: A (161), E (149) and S (112). 8 words out of 336 would pass unnoticed in conversation. That thin share is why the letter counts above matter more here than the list itself.
