Lock the pattern as _G_E_: the first and final letters remain open, while G and E are fixed in slots two and four. Just one of the 19 matches falls among the most common English words, so expect a mix of familiar forms and tournament vocabulary. AGREE is an easy anchor; AGLEY and NGWEE show how unusual the tail can get.

- Seven start with A; six start with O.

5-letter words with G as the 2nd letter and E as the 4th letter
19 words match G in slot two and E in slot four. AGREE is the clearest familiar example, but a known ending narrows the set more sharply than the opening: seven matches start with A and six with O, while six end in D.
S, E and R are the next useful endings, with four, three and three matches respectively. The final slot has six possible letters.
Dictionary coverage is uneven: ENABLE accepts 15 of these entries, while Collins and NWL2023 each accept 18. The total counts words found in at least one tournament list, not words shared by every list. Check your game's dictionary before committing to an unfamiliar option.
How can this pattern narrow a Wordle guess?
Wordle has two answer-list matches in this pattern, and all 19 are allowed guesses. Treat that as a narrow overlap, not a guarantee that a particular puzzle will use one. If G and E are confirmed in positions two and four, try AGREE only when its repeated E fits the board; then use the remaining slots to test endings such as D or S.
AGLEY and NGWEE top the scoring table at 9 points each; EGGED, IGGED and UGGED score 8. Those figures make the odd-looking options more attractive on a premium square, but board placement still decides the play. For a constrained puzzle, favor the familiar anchor or a known ending before reaching for a rare word just because its base value leads.
