Letters in the open positions

Looking at the fourth letter, “A” (186, 22.5%), “I” (180, 21.8%), “O” (165, 20%), “E” (156, 18.9%) appear most often. This measures the character immediately before the final letter, rather than the word's first internal letter. Percentages use all 827 matching words as the denominator.

Words ending in N are built from familiar vowel plus N endings such as AN, EN and AIN, which fills the page with everyday words like AGAIN, GREEN and HUMAN. 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.

Spelling Patterns You Will See

Most words in this group follow one of a few spelling patterns. The AN ending gives HUMAN, WOMAN and URBAN, the EN ending gives GIVEN, TAKEN and OFTEN and the AIN ending gives AGAIN, BRAIN and TRAIN.

Useful five-letter words

A Smart Way to Use the Last Letter

I, O and A are all strong in the fourth box, so a vowel there is the right first guess. If none of them lands, EN words like GIVEN and TAKEN are the next place to look. With the ending settled, the first two boxes are where the remaining choices are made.

Playing N Words in Scrabble

In Scrabble, N is worth one point, so it is easy to play but adds little to a score on its own. Many players keep a few N words in mind, such as AGAIN, GIVEN and OFTEN, so they can use the tile quickly when it arrives.
