Wordle is an utterly addictive word game. Mainly because the game is simple to learn and impossible to master. If you want to get the highest possible score, you’ll need to stretch your vocabulary and use words you wouldn’t normally consider. 

One of the most challenging letter combos to get in Wordle is a word with a P as the third or middle character. This is because there are loads of words that could fit the bill, forcing you to deeply consider your next move. 

However, if you’re looking for some new words to boost your Wordle prowess, here are over 300 five-letter words with a P as the third or middle character.
