Letters and endings

Two kinds of list live here. Single letters (words ending in E, words ending in Y) are the ones to reach for in word games and puzzles. Common endings (ING, TION, NESS, MENT) are more use for spelling and teaching, because they group words that behave the same way.

Endings like Q and J are nearly empty in English, so those lists are short. They are kept for completeness rather than padded out with junk. The method is written up in full.
