Which endings are most common?

S dominates the final-letter pattern: 44 words end in S, versus 17 ending in E and 10 in D. An S-ending candidate is a strong first branch when the last tile is unknown, but it still covers less than half the set. T and H are less frequent endings, at 9 and 5 matches.

Changing only the fifth letter makes a striking difference. With G fixed first, I in fifth position has 348 matches and E has 215; A produces 104. The A pattern is a narrower filter, not a broad bank of guesses.

For a length comparison, the same G-and-A positions match 25 five-letter words and 77 six-letter words.
