Game Strategy
Final-A words include PIZZA, EXTRA, KOALA, SALSA, PANDA and ARENA. Because the ending is rarer, confirming it narrows the field sharply.
Going Deeper
Word-final A is relatively uncommon in English, so a green A at the end is unusually informative — it rules out the many words ending in E, R, Y, T, N or D. The set skews toward loanwords and nouns (PIZZA, PASTA, SALSA, EXTRA, ARENA, OPERA, KOALA, PANDA). Watch for double letters (PIZZA, LLAMA). Set the length filter to 5 and filter ends-with A.
