MA closes a five letter word with an open vowel that English rarely produces on its own. Wordle players confirm the pair once both tiles turn green, and those letters fix the last two positions, so the 5 letter words ending in MA leave the opening three unsolved.
Greek supplies a large share of this pattern. Dogma, Drama, Edema, Enema, Gamma, Lemma, Magma, Sigma and Stoma all entered English from that source, and each one keeps its original ending rather than taking an English one.
There are 55 five letter words ending in MA. Sigma, Prima, Dogma, Douma and Stoma are the strongest Wordle guesses because none of them repeat a letter. Qorma scores 16 in Scrabble, the highest of the group.
