Words ending in O are often Italian, Spanish, or Portuguese borrowings (PIANO, STUDIO, AVOCADO, TANGO). Greek scientific endings also contribute (POTATO from Taino via Spanish; RHINO, PHOTO from Greek).
In Scrabble, O-ending words are important because O is a 1-point vowel with 8 tiles in the bag. O-endings are common 3-letter words perfect for hooking: AGO, BOO, DOO, DUO, EGO, GOO, HOB, HOO, JOE.
In Wordle, O-ending 5-letter words are a standard category (MACHO, RADIO, MOTTO, TEMPO). The -OO ending marks many Anglo-Saxon and onomatopoeic words (ZOO, GOO, BOO, MOO).
