About 5 letter words ending in T
T is one of the most common last letters for 5 letter words. -ST, -NT and -RT are the main patterns: first, paint, start, heart. -GHT (night, light, right) is very common too, which is why GH is worth testing when you have T at the end and two blank spots before it. In Wordle, a guess that tests S, N and H can split this list quickly.
T ranks fifth out of 26 as a last letter for 5 letter words.
Common endings with T
T endings split into four big families. -ST words include boost, burst, coast, exist, guest, least, toast, trust and worst. -NT words include agent, count, event, front, giant, grant, joint, plant, point and print. -RT words include apart, court, shirt, short, smart and sport. -GHT words include eight, fight, might, sight and tight. If T is green last, a guess that tests S, N and R in the fourth spot sorts them quickly. For T at the start, see 5 letter words starting with T.
