This list has 18 five-letter words starting with TH that have definitions. 18 are common everyday words. Wordle's answer list includes 6 of them.
Thorn is the best probe — O, R, and N are all new. Third and think are more likely answers; use them when you already know I is in the word.
Not as a probe. Both repeat E and ignore O/R/N. Save there/these for when the yellows already match. Thorn first, then think or theme depending on which vowels hit.
