Trying to figure out what words can come before a combination of two end letters in Wordle is one of the trickiest parts of the game. With only five letters to work with, having two letters at the end is a blessing and a curse. While players know what they need to end the word, it’s not a certainty that words that end in those letters will come to players so easily.
