Which final letters appear most often?

S is the leading final letter, appearing in 23 matches; L follows with 18 and N with 11. Y occurs at the end of 6 words, M of 5, and D of 4. Those counts make S the strongest ending to try when you know the first and sixth letters but not the last.

Examples show how much the endings vary: GUINEAS finishes in S, while GLACIAL and GRADUAL end in L. GINGHAM ends in M. The fixed G and A positions create a search pattern, not a single word family; GENERAL and GENITAL share those letters but differ in their endings.

The dictionary counts overlap: Collins includes 78 matches, NWL2023 includes 60, and ENABLE includes 52. Those totals are not separate pools to add together. A high-scoring word such as GENIZAH may not suit every game, so verify it against the word list your game uses before building a play around its score.
