Just 32 five letter words end in Z. The smallest individual-letter group on this site, and it holds the single highest score of any ending letter.
32 words end in Z. Genuinely rare, Z almost never closes a native English word, it shows up mostly in loanwords and informal coinages.
But the ceiling is sky-high. PZAZZ, the same word that tops the Starting-With-P page, scores 34 points here too, since it also ends in Z.
Small list, huge scoring potential.
Out of 2,315 real Wordle answers, only 4 end in Z, 0.2%.
Of the 32 words ending in Z, 4 are real answers: BLITZ, FRITZ, TOPAZ, WALTZ. A 12.5% hit rate, low, but the list is short enough to just memorize outright.
BLITZ. FRITZ. TOPAZ. WALTZ.
All four real Wordle answers. That's the entire confirmed list, short enough to hold in your head.
PZAZZ tops not just this list but every ending letter on this site, 34 points, a variant spelling of pizzazz. WHIZZ follows at 29, CHIZZ at 28.
Three Z tiles at 10 points each is what makes PZAZZ untouchable. A scrabble word finder should have this one memorized.
TZ- leads at 12 words, ZZ- close behind at 9. Then IZ- and EZ- with just a handful each.
A tiny list overall, so these patterns don't carry much predictive weight either way.
The smallest group on this site by letter, but the single biggest scoring ceiling.
