5 Letter Words With R as the Second Letter
5 letter words with R as the second letter number 1,378 in all, and Wordle has already used 261 of them as answers.
5 letter words with R as the second letter have a vowel in the third position more than four times out of five. Wordle has already used CRAMP, CRANE and CRANK, three answers built on that shape.
Since R is fixed in the second position, the third tile is what separates one answer from another. Starting with a vowel there ends more of the puzzle than a consonant does.
126 are words most players would guess without hesitation. 20% end in S, the ending that repeats most among them. Updated August 2026

FAQs
What are some 5 letter words with R as the second letter?
The ones most players know are ARBOR, ARENA, ARGUE, and ARISE. In all, 1,378 words qualify, and Wordle has already used 261 of them as answers.
What is the best Wordle guess among 5 letter words with R as the second letter?
The strongest guesses are the words Wordle has already used as answers, among them ARBOR, ARENA, and ARGUE. 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 is the most common last letter of 5 letter words with R as the second letter?
The most frequent last letter is S, which closes 277 of them. Try S in the final tile before anything else while that square is still grey.
Are there 5 letter words with R as the second letter with double letters?
Yes, and there are more than most players expect: 160 of them repeat a letter back to back, ARRAY, ARROW, and BREED among them. A repeat is the shape players rule out first, so when the board stalls, a double is worth the turn.
