Vowel spread

Letter(s)WordsShare of this list
1 distinct vowel359%
2 distinct vowels28573.1%
3 distinct vowels7017.9%

Words grouped by how many distinct vowels they hold. Wordle answers ending with E follow the same broad shape, so a guess with two different vowels usually survives longer than one with three.

Repeated letters in this list

101 of these words (25.9%) use the same letter twice — AGREE, APPLE, AWAKE, AWARE, CEASE, CYCLE. Wordle colours duplicate letters from left to right, so a gray copy can sit next to a green one in the same row. The double-letter rules guide walks through how to read those rows without discarding a letter you still need.

Best guesses

Strongest opening words ending with E

Words from this list with no repeated letters, ranked by how much of the five-letter corpus their letters cover. A higher coverage score means the guess tests more common letters, so more candidates fall away whatever colours come back.

How to use this list

Turn one confirmed tile into a shortlist

A single pattern rarely wins a Wordle on its own. Treat this page as step one: confirm the pattern, then layer on the rest of your board. The word finder handles loose letters you have not placed yet, and the solver applies positions, exclusions, and duplicate counts together.

If you are working from yellow tiles rather than greens, the guide on five-letter words containing the letters you know explains why a contains search behaves differently from a fixed-position search.

  1. 1
    Confirm the pattern

    Check the tile that gave you this ends with clue.

  2. 2
    Scan the group

    Use the first letter grouping above to skip words that clash with your greys.

  3. 3
    Filter properly

    Move to the solver once you have two or more clues to combine.

How many five-letter words end with E?+

Yes. 348 of the 1,953 Wordle answers published so far end with E, which is 17.8% of the archive. The most recent was DUNCE (puzzle #1944, 2026-10-15).

What is the best Wordle guess that ends with E?+

SOARE scores highest here: it repeats no letters and its five letters appear in 39.1% of all five-letter words in our corpus, so it tests more of the alphabet in one guess than the alternatives. The full ranked shortlist is in the "best guesses" table above.

Do words end with E often repeat a letter?+

101 of these 390 words (25.9%) repeat at least one letter, for example AGREE, APPLE, AWAKE, AWARE. That matters because Wordle scores duplicate letters from left to right, so a gray tile does not always mean the letter is missing.
