PE closes a five letter word with a silent E that lengthens the vowel before it, 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 PE leave the opening three unsolved.
A before the ending gives you Agape, Chape, Drape, Grape, Scape, Shape and Trape, the largest group here. O gives you Elope, Grope, Scope, Slope, Stope and Trope, so choosing between A and O covers most of the field.
There are 45 five letter words ending in PE. Shape, Scope, Slope, Grape and Swipe are the strongest Wordle guesses because none of them repeat a letter. Jaspe scores 14 in Scrabble, the highest of the group.
