Why common 5 letter words are useful
Common five-letter words are useful because they appear often in reading, writing, spelling activities, and word games. They are also helpful for Wordle because many answers are ordinary words rather than rare vocabulary.
When you are solving a word puzzle, common words are usually better guesses than strange or very rare words. A familiar word can test useful letters and still give you a realistic chance of finding the answer.
