5 letter words ending in ER take a consonant third in nearly nine cases out of ten. Wordle has already used EATER, EMBER and ESTER, and each one keeps that shape.
Given that the E and R are fixed as a pair, the other three tiles are what decide the answer. A consonant in that position cuts the most from the puzzle.
48 have a doubled letter, CHEER among them. About 24% (141) have already been Wordle answers.

Are there 5 letter words ending in ER with double letters?
