How many cominish 5 letter words words are there reasonably I wonder

There's only about 2K words in the Wordle dictionary. Many many more in the English language, but the NY Times keeps the dictionary much smaller.

After a while, you remember some winners, and you obviously wouldn't start with that word again since the editor is unlikely to repeat a prior winner.

After almost 1000 games, I'm almost halfway through the Wordle dictionary. If I had kept a spreadsheet of the winners, getting it in one would get easier and easier each day. But what fun is that?
