CK closes a five letter word with two letters making one hard sound, and Wordle players confirm the pair once both tiles turn green. Those letters fix the last two positions, so the 5 letter words ending in CK leave the opening three unsolved.
A in the third position gives you Black, Crack, Shack, Slack, Smack, Stack, Track and Whack, which is the largest group here. I gives you Brick, Click, Flick, Stick and Trick, so choosing between A and I splits most of the field.
There are 75 five letter words ending in CK. Black, Track, Quick, Stock and Stick are the strongest Wordle guesses because none of them repeat a letter. A in the middle position opens 25 of these words, more than any other letter.
