CHOSE was actually the first word that popped into my mind, but I decided on PROSE because I would rather confirm, place or eliminate the more commonly used P and R rather than C and H.

That appears like the second word has to end in OSE if it ends in 3 green.

That was either totally inspired and happened easily or it was a long, painful stare at the letters!

BREAD and BREAK have both been played before. Until they start recycling words these two are not the best initial guess.
