IT closes a five letter word with a short vowel and a hard stop, 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 IT leave the opening three unsolved.
Many of these come from Latin roots that English kept whole. Audit, Debit, Digit, Limit, Merit, Orbit, Posit and Tacit all arrived that way, and each one places a consonant in the third position rather than a vowel.
There are 70 five letter words ending in IT. Split, Admit, Fruit, Habit and Merit are the strongest Wordle guesses because none of them repeat a letter. Zizit scores 23 in Scrabble, the highest of the group.
