Wordle game help: 5-letter words with ‘B’ as the second letter

It is very common to come across search results for the best word to start with in Wordle, but certain players like to start with pairs of words to test more letters before they really start trying to guess the correct answer. Of course, this isn’t usually possible playing on hard mode, unless the first word doesn’t have any yellow or green letters.

Following the idea that the best option is to use the most common letters to form your first attempts, the pairs of words “COALS” and “NITER,” “CANER” and “TOILS,” and “CANOE” and “TIRLS” are some examples of the best options to try.
