Wordle Game Help: 5-letter words with ‘E’ and ‘T’ in them

Wordle is a quick activity for unpretentious leisure time. But it’s also a more intense gaming activity for those players who take their scores seriously. The New York Times website keeps track of which attempt each player hit the secret word on, and compiles this data in a graph along with the possible sequence of wins. Some players like to keep their streaks as high as possible.

Many players develop and use different strategies to achieve good results. If you still haven’t figured out your favorite way to start your daily Wordle challenge, you can check out our guide on which words to choose first. If you prefer a more daring strategy, you might want to look into how to use as many different letters of the alphabet in your attempts. This will let you know which letters are present in the right word, but it can also put you in a difficult situation if the right answer has repeated letters. In most cases, though, you’ll pretty much have to solve an anagram to get it right.

One way or another, you may find yourself needing some help to come up with the right answer. If you’ve used the first few tries and only found that the secret word has the letters “E” and “T”, but you don’t know their positions, here are some five-letter words with “E” and “T”, sorted alphabetically so you’ll have less work to do with filtering your choices by the letters you’ve already eliminated.

All the words on this list are accepted by Wordle. Another good tip to guessing the correct word as early as possible is to find which other vowels are present in the word of the day, narrowing down your options. Beware of words that may have repeated letters, and don’t forget to try words you already know first, since Wordle tends to choose more common words as the right answer, at least in most cases.

These tips should help you complete your latest Wordle task.
