5 letter words with P in the middle keep a vowel in the second position in about seven cases out of ten. Past answers such as HIPPY, KAPPA and LAPEL each show that shape.
Given that P is fixed in the third position, the remaining four tiles are where the answers differ. Testing a vowel there rules out more than testing a consonant.
115 have a doubled letter, APPLE among them. About 10% (58) have already been Wordle answers.

FAQs
What are some 5 letter words with P in the middle?
The ones most players know are ALPHA, APPLE, APPLY, and DEPOT. In all, 559 words qualify, and Wordle has already used 58 of them as answers.
What is the best Wordle guess among 5 letter words with P in the middle?
The strongest guesses are the words Wordle has already used as answers, among them ALPHA, APPLE, and APPLY. Each spends its five tiles on letters that turn up in plenty of other words, so even a grey tile rules a lot out.
What do 5 letter words with P in the middle usually end in?
The most frequent last letter is S, which closes 115 of them. Try S in the final tile before anything else while that square is still grey.
Are there 5 letter words with P in the middle with double letters?
Yes, and there are more than most players expect: 115 of them repeat a letter back to back, APPLE, APPLY, and GUPPY among them. A repeat is the shape players rule out first, so when the board stalls, a double is worth the turn.
