424 of Wordle’s 2,315 official answer words end in E, about 18%. The full list is below, grouped by starting letter.
Why E shows up at the end so often
E is the single most common letter in Wordle’s answer list overall, and a silent final E is one of English’s most familiar spelling patterns, words like HOUSE, STONE, and SMILE all follow it. If you’ve confirmed E in the last position, you’ve narrowed things down meaningfully, and the letter right before it follows some clear patterns of its own.
What usually comes right before the E
Looking at the letter directly before the final E across all 424 words:
S comes right before E in 52 words, the single most common, think HOUSE or PULSE.
T in 39 words, G in 38, and V in 37 follow closely behind.
L shows up in 35 words, words like TABLE and WHOLE.
Together these top four letters (S, T, G, V) cover about 39% of all words ending in E, worth testing early if you’ve confirmed the final E but aren’t sure what comes before it.
Once E is confirmed in the last position, focus your remaining guesses on the fourth letter. S, T, G, V, and L cover a large share of the words in this list.
A final E is often silent, so don’t assume it changes the sound of the word the way it might look. STARE and SPICE both use this pattern.
Remember this list only covers E as the final letter. E can also appear earlier in a word without being last, that’s a much larger and different set of words.

No. This list only includes words where E is specifically the fifth and final letter. E appears in many more words overall since it’s the most common letter in the entire answer list.
