Game Strategy
Words ending in E are extremely common Wordle answers. Pair a known final E with a strong opener (CRANE, SLATE) to narrow the field fast.
Going Deeper
A final E is a high-information clue because so many five-letter words share it — silent-E words (HOUSE, PLACE, STONE, GRADE), -ATE and -IZE endings, and comparatives. That abundance cuts both ways: it confirms a common pattern but leaves many candidates, so your next guess should test the letters in positions two through four rather than re-confirming the E. Feed your known letters into the unscrambler, set length 5, and use the ends-with filter to list every word that fits.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many 5-letter words end in E?
The ENABLE word list contains 931 five-letter words ending in E, which makes it the single most common five-letter ending in English. That abundance is why a green E in the last position leaves so much still to narrow. This page shows the full list; use the unscrambler with your known letters to cut it down. Silent-E words, -ATE verbs and -IZE verbs account for most of the set.
What are good Wordle guesses when the word ends in E?
When the last letter is a confirmed E, spend your remaining guesses on positions two through four rather than re-testing the E. Openers like CRANE, SLATE and STARE already place an E in the fifth slot while probing high-frequency consonants, so they confirm position and eliminate candidates in one move. After that, test the letters that most often precede a final E: S, T, R, L, N and D. Re-guessing a letter you have already turned green wastes a third of your remaining information.
Why do so many five-letter words end in E?
So many five-letter words end in E because English uses a silent final E to mark a long vowel, as in STONE against STOP or PLANE against PLAN. On top of that, whole suffix families end in E: -ATE (PLATE, SLATE), -IZE (PRIZE, SEIZE), -URE (AZURE) and -ILE (AGILE). Comparatives and many borrowed nouns pile on more. The result is that a final E is the least surprising ending you can confirm.
Which letters most often come just before a final E?
The letter immediately before a final E is most often S, T, R, L, N or D, giving the endings -SE, -TE, -RE, -LE, -NE and -DE. Double-letter forms such as -LLE and -SSE are rare at five letters, so a repeated letter there is unlikely. If your fourth position is still open, testing T and R covers a large share of the list. The unscrambler's contains filter will confirm the pattern against your own letters.
