Pattern Notes

T and Y are both consonants, so the open boxes usually carry the vowels, as in THYME, TOYED and TRYST. Most of the familiar words have a vowel in the second box. The fifth box is most often E, D and T, which makes it the quickest place to settle the ending.

A Wordle Tip for This Pattern

Begin with O, H and R in the second box, because they open the largest groups. After that, test E in the fifth box, since it is the single most common final letter here. The fixed T and Y do a lot of the work, so spend your guesses on the three open boxes. For a wider view, see 5 letter words starting with T and 5 letter words with Y as the 3rd letter.
