5-letter words with Y as the 1st letter and R as the 4th letter

The fixed letters leave three open spots, but the resulting group is small: only 12 words qualify. Years, yours, and yearn are recognizable examples; other matches, such as yfere and ybore, are much less familiar. Collins lists all 12, while ENABLE and NWL2023 each list 6, so the exact options depend on your game's dictionary.

5-letter words with Y as the 1st letter and R as the 4th letter

• Exactly 12 tournament-dictionary words fit Y??R?.

• Only 2 entries rank among the common words counted here.
• Years, yours, and yearn are familiar-looking examples; several other matches are uncommon.

Is there a Wordle answer with Y first and R fourth?

One matching Wordle answer appears in the dictionary-backed set, and all 12 entries qualify as allowed guesses. That distinction matters: the answer list is narrower than the accepted-guess list, so a valid guess here is not automatically a likely solution.

Years and yours are immediately recognizable candidates, and yearn reads naturally as a verb. Check the color pattern before treating any one of them as the answer: the fixed Y and R still leave three changing positions.

Which matches score highest in Scrabble?

Yfere leads the scoring list at 11 points, followed by ybore at 10. Yeard and yaird each score 9, while years, yours, and yearn each score 8. The average across the group is 8.6, so the less familiar words—not just everyday vocabulary—lift the top score.

Five matches end in S. D, E, and N each appear as the final letter twice, while T appears once. When the last tile is unknown, checking S first narrows the possibilities to the largest ending group.

The endings also give you concrete checks: years and yours finish in S; yeard and yaird finish in D; yearn finishes in N. The small group contains several uncommon forms, so a plausible-looking spelling is not enough to establish that your game accepts it.

Collins recognizes more matches in this pattern than NWL2023 does. Confirm your game's lexicon before playing an unfamiliar entry; an accepted word in one dictionary may not carry over to another.
