F has a broad, practical pool: 575 five-letter entries, with 158 marked common. Familiar choices such as first, found and field sit beside less obvious plays. The answer list is especially useful for Wordle, where 136 entries qualify; start with the everyday words, then use the ending counts to narrow a pattern.

A generous pool for Wordle

This page has 136 Wordle answers out of 575 F entries, so the answer pool is larger than the other pages in this batch. Common picks include first, found, field and front. If a clue already fixes the opening F, those recognizable options give you a grounded first pass before you scan rarer spellings.

S is the leading final letter, appearing in 184 entries. Y follows with 72, then E with 67 and D with 43. When your grid reveals the last tile, that distribution makes an S ending the likeliest branch to check first; a known vowel ending still points clearly toward E or Y.

F is also unusually useful for ordinary endings: S, Y and E together cover 323 entries (derived: 184+72+67 = 323). That gives a player several strong routes after the first tile is known. A clue with a final E can point toward force or frame, while an S ending opens files, forms and funds.

Which endings narrow the list fastest

Test an S ending first: 184 F words finish that way, including files, forms and funds.
Y accounts for 72, covering familiar choices such as funny and fully.
E closes 67 entries; frame and force show two everyday possibilities.
D appears at the end of 43 words, including found and fixed.

The standout F scores

Tip

The three leaders on the scoring list are fuzzy, fizzy and fezzy at 29 points apiece.

Common words before obscure ones

The common count is 158, about a quarter of the 575-entry list (derived: 158/575 = 0.275). That is a useful filter when you need a plausible answer rather than a complete tournament lexicon. Try first, final, force or focus for recognizable forms; expand to the full list only after the pattern rules them out.

A clue can also benefit from checking the source your game follows. Collins holds all 575 matches, compared with 441 in the North American list and 430 in ENABLE. That difference matters most near the edge of the vocabulary.

Familiar choices such as first are less likely to cause a rules dispute than an unusual entry. Keep the target dictionary consistent as you narrow the pattern.
