AR closes a five letter word with a vowel and a consonant that carry one sound between them, and Wordle players confirm the pair once both tiles turn green. Those letters fix the last two positions, so the 5 letter words ending in AR leave the opening three unsolved.
E and L each take the middle slot in fifteen of these words. E gives you Clear, Shear, Smear and Spear, while L gives you Molar, Polar, Solar and Velar, so testing one of the two splits the field almost in half.
There are 101 five letter words ending in AR. Clear, Sugar, Solar, Swear and Polar are the strongest Wordle guesses because none of them repeat a letter. E and L each open 15 of these words in the middle position.
