What this 118-word list looks like

How many of the 118 words contain each letter at least once. Useful when you want a follow-up guess that tests letters this pattern rarely rules out.

Vowel spread

Letter(s)WordsShare of this list
1 distinct vowel3227.1%
2 distinct vowels8370.3%
3 distinct vowels32.5%

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

Repeated letters in this list

21 of these words (17.8%) use the same letter twice — AGAIN, EATEN, GREEN, KNOWN, SEVEN, COLON. 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 N

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.

Quick answers

Questions about words ending with N

Counts, answer history, and guess quality for this exact pattern.

How many five-letter words end with N?+

Our generated corpus holds 118 five-letter English words that end with N. Every one of them is listed on this page, grouped by first letter. The corpus is a broad vocabulary list built for pattern matching, so it is wider than the daily Wordle answer list.

Have words end with N been used as Wordle answers?+

Yes. 97 of the 1,953 Wordle answers published so far end with N, which is 5% of the archive. The most recent was ADORN (puzzle #1947, 2026-10-18).

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

SEDAN scores highest here: it repeats no letters and its five letters appear in 35.9% 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 N often repeat a letter?+

21 of these 118 words (17.8%) repeat at least one letter, for example AGAIN, EATEN, GREEN, KNOWN. That matters because Wordle scores duplicate letters from left to right, so a gray tile does not always mean the letter is missing.

Open the solver, enter your green, yellow, and gray tiles exactly as the board shows them, and it applies every clue at once, including duplicate-letter counts. This page fixes a single pattern; the solver combines that pattern with everything else you already know.
