5-letter words starting with R: the niche that matters
Since Wordle made five-letter words famous, first-letter clusters like this are how players study: seeing the 44 common 5-letter R-words as a group builds the pattern memory that turns a lucky guess into a routine solve. Length-plus-initial is the exact shape of most crossword clues ('five letters, starts with R…') and of tip-of-the-tongue moments, where the brain typically remembers a word's first letter and rough length before the word itself.
A note on R itself: R commands one of English's most productive prefixes: 're-' can bolt onto nearly any verb ('rebuild', 'rethink', 'replay'), which single-handedly inflates the R section. In Scrabble it's worth 1 point.
