Past Tense Power: -ED and the Most Hookable Ending in Word Games

D ranks among the most common ending letters in English, and the reason is simple: -ED creates the past tense of nearly every regular verb. WALKED, PLAYED, JUMPED, WANTED, NEEDED, CALLED. This single suffix pattern generates tens of thousands of words. Beyond -ED, other D-ending patterns include -ND (FOUND, FRIEND, BEHIND), -RD (BOARD, GUARD, WEIRD), and -LD (BUILD, WORLD, CHILD). These clusters give crossword constructors plenty of material, and recognizing them helps you solve clues faster. Our guide on using suffixes to solve anagrams explains how -ED recognition speeds up any word puzzle.

Adding -ED to a word already on the board is one of the most reliable hook plays in Scrabble and Words With FriendsScrabbleWords With Friends. If your opponent plays WALK, you can extend it to WALKED and score for the entire 6-letter word while only placing two tiles. D is worth just 2 points in both games2 points in Scrabble2 points in Words With Friends, but the value of -ED hooks isn't about the D tile itself. It's about claiming the base word's full score plus any perpendicular words you form. With 4 D tiles in a standard set, you'll draw them regularly. Hold a D when you spot potential -ED hook targets on the board. Our defensive strategy guide explains how to balance offensive hooks with protecting premium squares from your opponent.

D is a reasonably common ending in Wordle answers too. Words like FOUND, MOUND, GRIND, DREAD, and BLOND have all appeared. Since Wordle avoids simple past-tense forms (WALKED, PLAYED won't show up), most D-ending answers use -ND, -RD, or -AD patterns rather than -ED. If your guesses reveal D in position 5, focus on those consonant clusters instead of assuming a past tense. The Wordle Solver filters by confirmed positions to narrow your remaining options.
