Endings and suffixes

The table above counts endings in our list. Because ENABLE includes inflected forms, plurals and past tenses make up a large share: 65,414 words end in S and 13,322 in ED. If you need base words, tick “Common words only” or exclude S with the more filters.

Endings are about spelling. Words with the same sound but a different spelling – NIGHT and BITE – are covered by the rhyming words tool instead.
