5 letter words with E as the second letter keep a consonant in the first position almost every time. Past answers such as SEWER, TEARY and TEASE each take that shape, with R the letter that fills the first position most.
Because E is fixed in the second position, the first tile is what separates one answer from another. A guess with a consonant in that position tests the strongest shape first.
BEACH is the one most players know. 146 are words most players would guess without hesitation.

FAQs
What are some 5 letter words with E as the second letter?
The ones most players know are BEACH, BEAST, BEGAN, and BEGIN. In all, 2,530 words qualify, and Wordle has already used 240 of them as answers.
Which 5 letter words with E as the second letter make good Wordle guesses?
The strongest guesses are the words Wordle has already used as answers, among them BEACH, BEAST, and BEGAN. 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 E as the second letter usually end in?
The most frequent last letter is S, which closes 630 of them. Try S in the final tile before anything else while that square is still grey.
Are there 5 letter words with E as the second letter with double letters?
Yes, and there are more than most players expect: 422 of them repeat a letter back to back, BEECH, BEEFY, and BELLE among them. A repeat is the shape players rule out first, so when the board stalls, a double is worth the turn.
