With 2 guesses left, I felt pretty confident there was literally just 3 possible words in the entirety of the English language (WIPER PIPER RIPER) . I played them in the order of how common the words were,
Line 5 WIPER
Line 6 PIPER
Line 7 RIPER
Unfortunately we don’t get 7 guesses in Wordle, we only get 7.

In the effort to remove Solutions ending in -d or -ED, they accidentally kept NAKED out of the Solution Bank too. So the suoer common and unoffensive word NAKED isn't a Solution, but RIPER is?? Also missing, SQUID and PAGER. These words are so commonplace that my phone even presents the following emojis when I type SQUID and PAGER
