Which endings are most common?
S is the standout final letter: 36 of these words end that way. GADGETS, GIGGLES, GOGGLES, and GINGERS show how often the pattern lands on a familiar plural or verb form.
The next endings are much less frequent. D appears at the end of 11 words, G closes nine, and Y closes eight. Try those endings after S when a crossing letter rules out the obvious plural forms.
