This list has 24 five-letter words starting with TR that have definitions. 24 are common everyday words. Wordle's answer list includes 13 of them.
Treat if E is untested, trade if you already have A or want D. Trail and train are common answers once A and I are known — they are finishers, not openers.
Drop E and try a word with A plus a new consonant — trade or even a non-TR probe like slain if you want maximum new letters. Staying inside TR is only worth it when you already know the third letter.
