How To Narrow Words That Contain Y
Containing-letter pages are the bridge between a yellow tile and a fully specified pattern. Y appears somewhere in 1,952 verified five-letter words, with the most common opening letters at S (178), Y (175), and P (152) and the most common endings at Y (1,254), S (260), and E (99).
From here, the useful next step is to split the pool by position. If the letter is ruled out from one or two slots, the related position pages and Wordle Solver cut the set down much faster than browsing the full alphabetical list.
