5 Letter Words Ending With A to Z (Complete List)

Every five-letter word Wordle accepts, indexed by last letter. The second column is what matters most: those are the words that can actually be the answer, rather than merely legal guesses.

What the numbers tell you

The distribution is lopsided, and that is useful. The most common closing letters are S (4339), E (1739), Y (1527). The rarest are J (3), Q (5), V (5).

When you have a yellow letter and are deciding where to place it, the odds are rarely even. A letter that ends hundreds of words is a safer bet in that slot than one that ends a dozen.

Frequently asked questions

How many 5 letter words does Wordle accept?
14,855 as valid guesses, of which 2,315 can be the answer.

Why are there two different lists?
Wordle separates its guess dictionary from its solution list so obscure words stay playable without ever being the answer. Knowing the difference is a real advantage.

Can a Wordle answer repeat?
No — see our past answers archive for everything already used.
