NA gives a Wordle player a consonant and a vowel, though the letter after the pair varies so widely that it rarely points anywhere. Nearly half the 5 letter words starting with NA repeat a letter, which is the first thing worth ruling out.
R takes the third position more often than the rest, but not by enough to build a guess on. Named, Naked, Nasty and Nails each take a different one, and most of the repeats in the set are a doubled N or a doubled P.
There are 80 five letter words starting with NA. Named, Naked, Nasty, Nails and Naive are the strongest Wordle guesses because none of them repeat a letter. S closes 29 of them, so work the final slot before the third.
