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

Locking R into the fourth spot and E at the end narrows the puzzle to 118 tournament-dictionary words. The set mixes everyday options such as WHERE and SCORE with less familiar entries. S is the most common starting letter, appearing in 28 words; A comes next with 10, an imbalance that gives you a practical place to start when the first letter is still unknown.

5-letter words with R as 4th and E as 5th

• There are 118 matching words in Collins, and all end in E.
• S begins 28 matches, the strongest starting-letter group.
• Only 26 entries rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency.
• Azure, Zaire, Quire, and Quare each score 14 points in Scrabble.
• The pattern includes 26 Wordle answers and 118 allowed guesses.

Which familiar words fit the pattern?

Start with words that are easy to recognize: THERE, WHERE, SHARE, STORE, SCORE, AWARE, SHORE, SPARE, SCARE, and STARE all place R and E in the required positions. These examples span several starting letters, so they are more useful for testing a pattern than a run of S words.

The starting-letter counts show a sharp lead for S: its 28 matches outnumber A's 10 and C's eight. M also has eight. If your opening clue rules out S, A, C, and M, the remaining options still include familiar words such as FLARE, GLARE, and CHORE.

How should you use this pattern in Wordle?

Treat the 26 Wordle answers as a smaller target set inside the 118 allowed guesses. SHARE, STORE, and SCORE are recognizable pattern matches, but a valid guess is not automatically an answer. Use the fourth-position R and final E as fixed clues, then test unresolved letters with candidates that differ elsewhere.

The dictionary split matters outside Wordle: Collins contains all 118 matches, while NWL2023 and ENABLE each contain 61. That makes obscure entries a risky assumption in North American tournament play; check your game's word list once before relying on a rare candidate. For scoring, AZURE leads the Scrabble scorers at 14 points, but a board premium can change the practical value.
