About 5 letter words ending in each letter
The last letter of a 5 letter word is often decided by grammar. E is the most common ending because of the silent E in words like crane and stone. Y follows, thanks to adjectives like happy and adverbs like early. S ends a huge number of valid words, but almost all of them are plurals or verb forms, which Wordle rarely uses as answers. D, T and R are the next most common endings, often as pairs like -ED, -ST and -ER. Some letters almost never end an English word: J, Q and V have too few 5 letter words to fill a page. Each page below shows every valid word for that ending, with the most common pairs before the last letter and a real Wordle example.
How to use these pages for Wordle
In Wordle, open a letter's page when a guess shows a green letter in the last spot. Each page lists the most common two-letter endings, which tells you what to test in the fourth spot. With a green H at the end, for example, testing C, S and T covers -CH, -SH and -TH, the endings of beach, flash and south. With a green E, look at -SE, -CE and -GE first. The same lists help with rhymes, since words that share an ending often rhyme.
