5-letter words with P as the 4th letter and E as the 5th letter

The pattern is _ _ _ P E: the final two tiles are fixed, so the first three letters do the real sorting. S begins 12 entries and C begins 8, while the next most frequent opening, G, has 5. That concentration makes familiar options such as SHAPE and SCOPE easier to spot than the full dictionary range.

5-letter words with P as the 4th letter and E as the 5th letter

• All 46 words fit, and every one ends in E because P and E occupy the fourth and fifth slots.
• Collins includes 46 matches; ENABLE and NWL2023 include 32 each.
• Only 7 qualify as common by frequency; SHAPE, SCOPE, SLOPE, GRAPE, and SWIPE are recognizable examples.
• 14 are Wordle answers, and all 14 also appear in tournament dictionaries.

Which matches are Wordle answers?

14 entries in this pattern are Wordle answers, and the permitted-guess count is 46. The pattern alone cannot tell you which answer remains possible, so use known green and yellow tiles to narrow the first three positions rather than treating every match as a live solution.

SHAPE, SCOPE, SLOPE, GRAPE, and SWIPE show how much the opening changes while the ending stays fixed. Only 7 entries meet the common-word cutoff, so the full match set includes plenty of low-frequency options; don't assume every legal candidate is likely in ordinary play.

Score leaders and a dictionary caveat

JASPE leads the scoring examples at 14 points, with FLYPE next at 13. CHAPE, MYOPE, BLYPE, and CLYPE each score 12, while SHAPE and SWIPE score 10. A less familiar opening can beat the obvious everyday choices without changing the fixed P-E tail.

For 5-letter words with P as the 4th letter and E as the 5th letter, dictionary coverage varies: Collins has 46 matches, but ENABLE and NWL2023 each have 32. Check your game's lexicon before playing an unfamiliar candidate; acceptance in one list does not guarantee acceptance in another.
