680 five letter words end in A. A solid group, and none of them are plurals, English doesn't build plurals that way.
That matters more than it sounds. Every single one of these words stays eligible as a Wordle answer.
680 words end in A. PIZZA is one of them. So is KARMA, ULTRA, MANIA.
A lot of these arrived from other languages, Italian, Latin, Sanskrit, and just kept their native ending intact instead of getting Anglicized.
No plural trap here either. An A ending can't be a simple plural, so the whole group is fair game.
Out of 2,315 real Wordle answers, 64 end in A, 2.8%.
Of the 680 words ending in A, 64 are real answers. A 9.4% hit rate, well above S and comfortably mid-pack overall.
No plural drag on this one. Every A-ending word had a fair shot at being picked.
AGORA. COBRA. FAUNA. KARMA. MANIA. PASTA. SCUBA. ULTRA.
Borrowed words mostly, but every one is common enough that nobody blinks at it in a Wordle guess.
HUZZA tops the board at 26 points, an old cheer, basically "hooray." PIZZA follows right behind at 25.
LEZZA sits at 23. None of these are exotic spellings, just words that happen to carry a Z.
A scrabble word finder will rank all three for you, and a words with friends cheat scores them slightly differently again.
TA- leads the pack at 73 words, just ahead of RA- at 71. Then IA- with 58, NA- with 57.
Those four openings cover a big chunk of every A-ending word. Worth checking first if you've got the last letter locked.
Compare that hit rate to S and the difference is stark. Same alphabet, completely different story.
