Find Words That End With Any Letters
Type a suffix and this tool returns every English word that ends with those letters. Whether you need "-tion" words, "-ing" words, or words ending in "z", the search is instant and comprehensive.
Results are organized by length with filter chips so you can quickly find words of the exact size you need.
Use Cases
Rhyming: Find words that share an ending for poetry or songwriting. Crosswords: When you know the ending letters of a clue, search by suffix. Scrabble: Discover words that end with the letters already on the board for hook plays.
What Suffixes Tell You About a Word
A suffix is a letter group added to the end of a word, and it usually signals the word’s grammatical job. -tion and -ment turn verbs into nouns (act → action, govern → government), -ness turns adjectives into nouns (kind → kindness), -ly turns adjectives into adverbs (quick → quickly), and -ful and -less describe presence or absence (hope → hopeful, hope → hopeless).
Because the ending often reveals the part of speech, searching by suffix is a smart way to build themed vocabulary. Need a list of abstract nouns for an essay? Search "tion" or "ness". Hunting for adverbs to vary your prose? Search "ly". The results give you a ready-made word bank grouped by function.
Finding Rhymes and Perfecting Poetry
Words that share the same ending letters frequently rhyme, which makes suffix search a practical first step for songwriters and poets. Enter the ending of the word you want to rhyme with — "ight", "ound", "ation" — and browse a full column of candidates, then pick the ones that also match on sound.
Keep in mind that spelling and sound do not always line up (through, though, and rough all end in "ough" yet rhyme differently), so use this tool to gather options and your ear to make the final call. For sound-based matches, pair it with our Rhyme Finder.
Endings That Score Big in Word Games
In Scrabble and Words With Friends, the right ending can transform a mediocre rack into a bingo. Pluralising with a trailing S, adding -ED or -ING to a verb, or hooking an -ER onto an existing word lets you extend the board and score across two words at once.
Search common game-friendly endings to memorise the options before you sit down to play. Then confirm which ones you can actually build from your tiles with the Scrabble Word Finder.

Which word endings are best for Scrabble?+
Endings that let you extend existing words score the most: a plural -S, past-tense -ED, present-tense -ING, and comparative -ER or -EST. Learning the words that take these endings lets you play parallel and hook moves that count two words at once.
