Why do so many 5-letter words end in T?
T is one of the most common ways a five-letter word ends, especially inside the ST, NT and CT clusters — FIRST, GIANT, REACT, BLUNT. A 5-letter word ending with T closes on a hard consonant, which makes these words favourites in crosswords and useful hooks in Scrabble.

The final T is cheap, so sort by score to find the T-ending words that hide a scarce, high-value letter earlier on.
T words for Wordle and Scrabble
A fixed final consonant is a strong clue, and T is one of the most likely. Knowing the common endings — ST, NT, CT — turns a hard Wordle into a short list.
The Wordle angle. With the last letter settled as T, the puzzle becomes a hunt for the first four. This list is already scoped to T endings, so add each clue to Pattern, Contains and Exclude and watch the field shrink. TOAST and START also work as openers because they carry that T while testing common letters.
The Scrabble angle. A one-point T rarely scores on its own, so look for words with a scarce letter tucked inside — DEPOT, EXALT, QUIET. The ST ending is also a handy hook onto tiles already down. When you want the best play from a full rack, the Scrabble word finder ranks them for you.
