EY closes a five letter word with a vowel pair that sounds like a long E, and Wordle players confirm it once both tiles turn green. Those letters fix the last two positions, so the 5 letter words ending in EY leave the opening three unsolved.
Many of these words are built by adding Y to a four letter base. Bone becomes Boney, Cage becomes Cagey and Nose becomes Nosey, so once the EY is green it is worth testing whether a familiar short word sits underneath.
There are 87 five letter words ending in EY. Money, Honey, Alley and Abbey are the strongest Wordle guesses because none of them repeat a letter. N in the middle position opens 12 of these words, more than any other letter.
