5 Letter Words Ending in KY

162 5 letter words ending in ky: 30 on the Wordle answer list, 3 in everyday use, and the rest worth knowing for elimination.

A KY ending narrows this to 162 words, 30 of which are possible answers.

30 of the 162 can still be the answer, and FUNKY is the one most players reach for.

If you need a second letter to test, A (49), C (48) and O (39) appear here more than any others. 3 words out of 162 would pass unnoticed in conversation. That thin share is why the letter counts above matter more here than the list itself.
