ITE closes a five letter word with three of the five tiles, which leaves only two letters to solve. Wordle players who confirm this ending have far less work left than on a two letter pattern, and the 5 letter words ending in ITE form one of the smallest groups in the game.
Those two open slots do all the work. White, Write, Quite and Spite each place a different consonant pair at the front, so a single guess that tests two new consonants usually settles the answer.
There are 19 five letter words ending in ITE. White, Quite, Write, Suite and Spite are the ones most players know. Quite scores 14 in Scrabble, the highest of the group, with Axite just behind on 12.

The ones you meet most in everyday English are White, Quite, Write and Suite. Spite, Unite, Elite and Trite follow behind them.
There are 19 five letter words ending in ITE in standard word game dictionaries. Around 11 of those are words most players already recognise, which makes this an easy pattern to finish once the ending is green.
Try White. It tests W and H alongside the ITE ending and uses five different letters. Quite covers Q and U instead and works equally well.
The top score is 14 points before any board bonus, which Quite reaches. Axite scores 12, White reaches 11 and Skite scores 9.
Three of the five slots are already known, so only two letters remain. That leaves a far smaller field than a two letter ending, where three slots stay open.
Four words fit. Axite, Elite, Evite and Unite all open on a vowel, and Urite adds a fifth.
One does. Twite names a small brown finch of northern moorland, and Urite names a segment of an insect body rather than a creature itself.
The two differ only in their opening consonant, since both carry UITE after it. Guessing one of them tells you almost nothing about the other, so test an unrelated letter first.
