For the S in 5 letter words with A and S, the last square looks natural, yet guessing it there gains a Wordle player little.

The reason is that Wordle answers exclude plurals ending in S, leaving words such as START and CAUSE with the S earlier.

Testing the S up front or mid-word leaves the final square free for other letters.
