Questions

What is the most common five-letter word with X?

EXTRA, then EXIST and FIXED.

How many Wordle answers have had X in them?

32 so far, most recently REMIX (#1900). 5 more words with X are on the answer list.

Do these include plurals?

No. Wordle does not use plural answers, so -S plurals are left out to keep the list useful.

Rarity is how often a word appears in a large sample of written English (the wordfreq dataset), the same measure Wordillion scores with. “Wordle” shows the puzzle number if the word has been a New York Times Wordle answer, or “possible answer” if it is on the answer list but has not come up yet.
