5-letter words with B as the 2nd letter and E as the 5th letter

The pattern is _B__E: B is fixed in slot two, while E closes every match. Ten words begin with A, two with O, and YBORE is the lone Y-starting entry. Five of the 13 are classed as common, so familiar choices such as ABOVE, ABUSE, ABIDE, ABODE, and ABATE sit beside less familiar forms like ABCEE and YBORE.

5-letter words with B as the 2nd letter and E as the 5th letter

• There are 13 dictionary-listed matches, and each ends in E.
• ABOVE and YBORE lead the score list at 10 points each.
• ABCEE scores 9; ABIDE and ABODE score 8 apiece.
• Collins includes all 13, while ENABLE and NWL2023 include 9 each.
• Ten start with A; OBESE and OBOLE start with O, and YBORE starts with Y.

Which matches make sense for Wordle?

Seven of the 13 matches are Wordle answers, and all 13 qualify as allowed guesses. That makes the fixed B and final E more useful as a filter than as a complete solve: test known greens, then use the middle slots to separate candidates. ABOVE, ABUSE, and ABIDE are familiar options when their other letters fit.

More than half of these pattern matches occur in the answer set. The available facts do not identify which seven, so do not treat every attractive match as a confirmed answer; use your board clues and the game's feedback.

Why might a game reject one of these words?

The 13 matches are not equally portable across word games. Collins lists all 13, while ENABLE and NWL2023 include 9 each; a word accepted in Collins may fail in a North American game. Check your game's word list before banking on an unfamiliar match such as ABCEE or YBORE.

The final letter offers no further sorting because E is fixed in every result. The useful split is at the start: 10 words begin with A, two with O, and one with Y. If A is ruled out, OBESE, OBOLE, and YBORE are the remaining named possibilities.

For 5-letter words with B as the 2nd letter and E as the 5th letter, the score ceiling is modest: ABOVE and YBORE lead at 10 points, and the average is 7.8.
