RA closes a five letter word with an open vowel after a rolled consonant, 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 RA leave the opening three unsolved.
A doubled R sits in the middle of many of these. Barra, Durra, Marra, Murra, Serra, Sorra and Terra all place a second R in the third position, while Cobra, Extra, Hydra, Opera, Ultra and Zebra put a consonant there instead.
There are 69 five letter words ending in RA. Extra, Opera, Ultra, Cobra and Zebra are the strongest Wordle guesses because none of them repeat a letter. Zebra and Zabra both score 16 in Scrabble, the highest here.
