SY closes a five letter word with a Y carrying the final vowel 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 SY leave the opening three unsolved.
A doubled S runs through much of this pattern. Bossy, Fussy, Messy, Missy, Mossy, Sassy and Sissy all place a second S in the third position, which is why testing S there rules in or out nearly a third of the field.
There are 69 five letter words ending in SY. Daisy, Noisy, Lousy, Palsy and Tipsy are the strongest Wordle guesses because none of them repeat a letter. S in the middle position opens 21 of these words, more than any other letter.
