With a green C fixed in the last Wordle square, 5 letter words ending in C come down to working out the letters that precede it.
Most of them finish on IC, with an I in the fourth square right before the C, as in MUSIC and MAGIC.
It follows that the I is the letter to test first in Wordle, while a Scrabble player hopes to play TOXIC for its X.
