RE closes a five letter word with a sound that carries 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 RE leave the opening three unsolved.
A before the ending does more work than any other letter here. It gives you Flare, Glare, Scare, Share, Snare, Spare and Stare, so an A guess in the middle tests a wide part of the field, while O leads to Chore, Score, Shore, Snore, Store and Swore.
There are 118 five letter words ending in RE. Share, Store, Score, Spare and Stare are the strongest Wordle guesses because none of them repeat a letter. A in the middle position opens 27 of these words, more than any other letter.
