FAQs
What are some 5 letter words with N as the second letter?
The ones most players know are ANGEL, ANGER, ANGLE, and ANGRY. In all, 629 words qualify, and Wordle has already used 87 of them as answers.
What is the best Wordle guess among 5 letter words with N as the second letter?
The strongest guesses are the words Wordle has already used as answers, among them ANGEL, ANGER, and ANGLE. Each spends its five tiles on letters that turn up in plenty of other words, so even a grey tile rules a lot out.
Are there 5 letter words with N as the second letter with double letters?
Yes, and there are more than most players expect: 59 of them repeat a letter back to back, ANNEX, ANNOY, and ANNUL among them. A repeat is the shape players rule out first, so when the board stalls, a double is worth the turn.
