5 letter words with E and K keep E in the fourth position more than any other letter. Wordle has already used KNEED, KNEEL and LIKEN, and each one keeps that shape.
Given that E and K are both guaranteed somewhere in the word, the other three tiles are what decide the answer. Testing E there rules out more than testing another letter.
37 are words most players would guess without hesitation. 23% end in E, the ending that repeats most among them.
