Words ending in E make up the single largest category of English word-endings. E is the most common letter in English and it is especially common word-finally because of silent-E conventions (MAKE, BAKE, TAKE, LIKE) and the distinctive Latin -E / French -E ending (FIANCEE, BLASE, CARESSE).
In Scrabble, E-ending words are vital because many verbs take -ED past-tense, but many also have -E forms with hooks: LIVE → LIVES → LIVED. E is worth just 1 point with 12 E tiles in the bag, making E-hooks incredibly cheap and powerful for extensions.
In crosswords, E is the most common final letter overall. Common E-ending patterns include -ABLE (CAPABLE, CREDIBLE), -TIVE (ACTIVE, MASSIVE), -INE (MARINE, ENGINE), -ARE (COMPARE, PREPARE). These suffixes alone generate thousands of English words.
We count 28,240 E-ending entries, making up around 7.9% of the list. The E tile carries 1 point in standard Scrabble scoring.
OXYPHENBUTAZONE earns 41 Scrabble points before any bonuses — our top E-final score. Premium-square placement is where the extra multipliers come from.
AE is our shortest E-ending entry at 2 letters. These tiny suffix-friendly words are hook fodder: attach one to an existing board word and you score without committing your full rack.
