5 Letter Words for Wordle
These five-letter words come from a curated list, not a Scrabble dictionary, so they behave
the way Wordle players expect. "Contains" matches letters in any order; "Pattern" matches
positions with _ as a wildcard.
Use the finder when you know some letters but not their positions. For example, if your
guesses show that the word contains R and A and ends in E, set "Contains" to
RA, "Ends with" to E, and the list narrows to words such as CRANE,
GRACE and BRAKE.
