5 letter words with P as the second letter keep S in the first position more than any other letter. Past answers such as SPIKE, SPIKY and SPILL each take that shape, one tile at a time.
Because P is fixed in the second position, the other four tiles are what is left to test. Testing S there rules out more than testing another letter.
About 16% (56) have already been Wordle answers. APART is the one most players know.

What is the best Wordle guess among 5 letter words with P as the second letter?
