5 Letter Words With A as the Second Letter
5 letter words with A as the second letter come to 3,706 in total, and Wordle has already taken 298 of them as answers.

5 letter words with A as the second letter keep a consonant in the third position in nearly nine cases out of ten. Past answers such as TACIT, TACKY and TAFFY each take that shape, with R the letter that fills the third position most.
Because A is fixed in the second position, the remaining four tiles are where the answers differ. A guess with a consonant in that position tests the strongest shape first.
BACON is the one most players know. 188 are words most players would guess without hesitation. Updated October 2026

FAQs
What are some 5 letter words with A as the second letter?
The ones most players know are BACON, BADGE, BADLY, and BAKER. In all, 3,706 words qualify, and Wordle has already used 298 of them as answers.
What is the best Wordle guess among 5 letter words with A as the second letter?
The strongest guesses are the words Wordle has already used as answers, among them BACON, BADGE, and BADLY. 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 A as the second letter usually end in?
The most frequent last letter is S, which closes 911 of them. Try S in the final tile before anything else while that square is still grey.
Are there 5 letter words with A as the second letter with double letters?
Yes, and there are more than most players expect: 409 of them repeat a letter back to back, BAGGY, BATTY, and CABBY among them. A repeat is the shape players rule out first, so when the board stalls, a double is worth the turn.
