Letters in the open positions

Looking at the fourth letter, “E” (539, 55.9%), “I” (124, 12.8%), “A” (73, 7.6%), “N” (65, 6.7%) appear most often. This measures the character immediately before the final letter, rather than the word's first internal letter. Percentages use all 965 matching words as the denominator.

The past tense does a lot of the work here, so verbs like ASKED, BASED and MOVED sit alongside everyday words such as WORLD, FOUND and ROUND. Knowing the last letter gives you a head start in Wordle, Scrabble and crosswords, because it removes many of the possible answers straight away. A little pattern spotting goes a long way here.

Endings Worth Knowing

Most words in this group follow one of a few spelling patterns. The ED ending gives ASKED, BASED and MOVED, the ND ending gives FOUND, ROUND and SOUND and the LD ending gives WORLD, CHILD and WOULD.

Useful five-letter words

Start with WOULD, COULD, WORLD, FOUND and BASED. Each one is common enough to appear in everyday writing, which makes it a safe test. THIRD, ASKED and CHILD are worth keeping in reserve.

A Wordle Tip for This Ending

E in the fourth box is the safest first test, because so many past tense verbs end in ED. If it comes back grey, move to the other D endings such as ND, LD and RD. After that, the opening letters decide which of the likely words fits.

D in Scrabble and Other Word Games

In Scrabble, D is worth two points, so it is a modest tile that is rarely a problem to place. Many players keep a few D words in mind, such as WOULD, COULD and WORLD, so they can use the tile quickly when it arrives.

Common starting letters in words ending in D

The most frequent starting letter is S, appearing in 112 words (11.6%). This shows how the words sharing the D ending are distributed across different beginnings.

Frequently asked questions

Do all words ending in D end in ED

No. ED covers the past tense verbs, but words like WORLD, FOUND, CHILD and BOARD end in other pairs, so keep them in mind if E is ruled out.

Is D a common last letter in Wordle

D is one of the most common endings in five letter words. That makes it useful as a quick test, because the patterns above cover most of the words.

What are good words ending in D to guess first

WOULD, COULD and WORLD are good places to start, because they are familiar and spread across different letters. FOUND and BASED make good follow ups.
