What the Letter Pair Tells You

W and N are both consonants, so the open boxes usually carry the vowels, as in OWNER, OWNED and PWNED. Most of the familiar words open with a vowel. The fifth box is most often D and R, which makes it the quickest place to settle the ending.

A Wordle Tip for This Pattern

Begin with O, A and P 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 W and N do a lot of the work, so spend your guesses on the three open boxes. For a wider view, see 5 letter words with W as the 2nd letter and 5 letter words with N as the 3rd letter.
