5-letter words with R as the 2nd letter and N as the 5th letter

An R in position two and an N at the end leave a compact set of 39 tournament-dictionary words. GREEN and TRAIN are easy to spot, while ARSON, GROIN, and URBAN offer different first-letter options. Nineteen entries match the Wordle answer list, and 16 qualify as common English words by frequency; less familiar choices mean a matching pattern alone does not guarantee every game accepts every entry.

Which of these words match Wordle?

Nineteen words in this pattern match the Wordle answer list, and all 39 matches are allowed guesses. The answer-list count is a subset, not a separate promise that every word will appear as an answer.

Use the fixed letters to narrow your board, then compare the first letter. GREEN, BROWN, and CROWN illustrate familiar options, while the six G-starting matches make G the most represented opening here. The answer-list total is substantial for a pattern with just 39 dictionary words.

Scores, familiar words, and dictionary limits

FROWN scores 11 points, the highest base score in the set; BROWN, CROWN, PRAWN, and BRAWN each score 10. Those close alternatives share a useful structure: changing the first letter preserves the R and N positions while shifting the score. The average score is 7.3, so FROWN stands above the typical entry.

GREEN, TRAIN, BRAIN, and DRAIN are among the recognizable choices, but only 16 matches meet the common-word frequency cutoff.

Dictionary coverage also varies: the 39 Collins entries exceed the 30 in NWL2023 and 28 in ENABLE. Check your game's word list before relying on a less familiar answer. The 5-letter words with R 2nd and N 5th form a much smaller group than common R-and-N combinations generally suggest.
