Which endings appear most often?

Final S is the leading ending, with 40 matches; Y is close behind at 38. E accounts for 23, while A has 15 and L has 12. That concentration makes the last position a strong next check once M and the sixth-place L are fixed.

MONTHLY, MISSILE, and MIRACLE offer familiar starting points, while MAMMALS, MANUALS, MORTALS, and MARVELS show how many entries end in S. MORALLY and MERRILY are useful Y-ending examples. Not every fit is everyday vocabulary, so lock the letters before spending a turn on a less familiar candidate.
