A green A in the second slot opens up a wide field of possible answers. Plenty of five letter words with A as the second letter fit the A__ pattern, but the first letter and last three still leave room to work through.
Real examples bring out the variety. WATER and TABLE both share that second-letter A but go in different directions after it. The first letter still has room for almost any consonant, which keeps the puzzle open.
Use the five letter words with A as the second letter below to match the rest of your tiles, skip ones that repeat blocked letters, and find a stronger next guess.
