5 letter words with A, O and Y keep O in the second position more than any other letter. Past answers such as ROYAL, SOAPY and TODAY each take that shape, one tile at a time.
Given that A, O and Y are all guaranteed somewhere in the word, the other two tiles are what is left to test. Testing O there rules out more than testing another letter.
About 12% (15) have already been Wordle answers. ALLOY is the one most players know.
