What the Letter Pair Tells You
I and E are both vowels, so the first, fourth and fifth boxes are mostly consonants. Most of the familiar words open with a consonant. The fifth box is most often D, E and S, which makes it the quickest place to settle the ending.
A Wordle Tip for This Pattern
Begin with F, P and S in the first box, because they open the largest groups. After that, test D in the fifth box, since it is the single most common final letter here. The fixed I and E do a lot of the work, so spend your guesses on the three open boxes. For a wider view, see 5 letter words with I as the 2nd letter and 5 letter words with E as the 3rd letter.
