Wordpad is a deprecated feature and shortly to be removed (already removed in latest Dev Version).
I find it handy when on other users pcs for creating quick letters etc.
I see lots of posts re. alternatives, but they are not needed as you can copy wordpad wherever you like,
Do this now if you want to retain it in future.
Just copy everything from folder c:\program files\Windows NT\Accessories to a new folder e.g. called Wordpad elsewhere and create a shortcut link to wordpad.exe.
A good place to store it is in the cloud e.g. onedrive so accessible from any pc.
It can even be stored on a usb flash drive or usb hard drive.
I have tested this on the latest Insider Dev version where it has been removed, and it works fine (until MS find some other way of disabling it).
