Game Strategy
Final-K words are dominated by -CK (BLACK, STICK, TRUCK, CLOCK) and -NK (DRINK, THINK, BLANK, PLANK). Confirming the K points straight at those endings.
Going Deeper
A terminal K rarely stands alone — it follows C (-CK: BLACK, STICK, TRUCK, QUICK, CLOCK) or N (-NK: DRINK, THINK, BLANK, PRANK, PLANK), with a few -SK/-LK exceptions (BRISK, WHISK, STALK). So a green final K plus a yellow C or N tells you almost the whole ending. Set the length filter to 5 and filter ends-with K.
