5-Letter Words Ending In

Wordle is a daily puzzle habit for players around the world. Many people can’t start their days until they have discovered the five-letter answers. For others, Wordle is a day-long process as they carefully consider their next guesses or continue playing Wordle spin-offs.

The Wordle board starts with nothing but blank squares. For each game, you have six or a limited number of chances to guess a common five-letter word. With each turn, you receive a little more information. When a letter does not belong in the answer, its square remains black. If the letter is part of the solution but not in the right place, it receives a yellow square. A green square means your letter is in the correct place, and you are that much closer to the right answer.

A strong start is important to a successful finish. You want an initial word that provides the best opportunity for green and yellow squares. A good first guess should have five different letters. Most of the letters in this word should be from the group that shows up most frequently in English words. Words like CRATE, STARE, and LEAST are helpful options. You should also have a strong second choice in case your first guess comes up empty. Words like DONUT, MOUND, and PIOUS are all strong choices.

After a couple of decent guesses, there should be some green and yellow squares on your board. At this point, our word tool can help you improve your chances of solving the puzzle. First, you must set the Length filter to five to save you some time. Our word tool works with Scrabble-type word games and can supply words up to 15 letters long. You don’t need QUINQUENNIAD when you are looking for five leter words ending with AD.
The Contains filter works when you know the placement of a letter or two. Using an underscore for blank spaces, you will search for words with letters in fixed positions. If you know the placement of the first and fourth letters, your search query would look something like T__L_.
The Include filter comes into play for yellow squares. Simply input the letters you know that belong in the word. The tool will return of list of words with those letters in any possible position.
Because our Word Finder tool works with Scrabble, it uses an extensive dictionary. However, Wordle answers come from a much shorter list of common English words. This list also limits the type of words that can be answers. For example, past-tense verbs and plural nouns do not qualify as official Wordle solutions, but you can successfully play them at Dordle, WordGuessr, or other games.

5 Letter Words Ending with E, Y, T, and R

Ends with E

The silent E that lengthens a previous vowel is frequent in English words. If you only have a green square with an E in the fifth position, you will need to do more digging. Think of all the possibilities: PHONE, CRIME, CHASE, and FLUKE. E also finishes several LE letter combinations: TABLE, CYCLE, ANKLE, and ANGLE.

Ends with Y

Y can turn a short noun into an adjective. ZEST becomes ZESTY, and FISH becomes FISHY. The LY ending can be found in many adverbs. SADLY, MADLY and BADLY all come to mind.

Ends with T

Several letter combinations will give you a final T. ST words include FIRST, WORST and CHEST. Some common LT words are VAULT, EXALT, and GUILT.

Ends with R

An R at the end of a word usually has a vowel in front of it. While ER is a frequent finish, there are other possibilities: HUMOR, CHAIR, MOLAR, and LEMUR.

Five Letter Words Ending with ER and CH

Ends with ER

Many 5 letter words end with ER because it can turn a noun into a verb. BAKER, FLYER, MOVER, and FIXER all follow this form. However, there are plenty of words outside of this group: OTHER, NEVER, and UPPER.

Ends with CH

Most of the time, a consonant precedes the CH at the end of a word, as in BIRCH, FETCH, and PINCH. However, words like PEACH, COUCH, and LEECH will tell you that this is not a hard rule.
