Strategy for this list

The -ING suffix is the most common word ending in English. Every present participle and gerund uses it, which makes -ING words the workhorses of both Scrabble and Wordle. For Scrabble, the -ING triple is a common bingo shape: ENDING, RUNNING, SEATING, LOATHING. The -ING ending hooks to -INGS for the extra S bonus. For Wordle, -ING appears in fewer answers than you'd expect (past-tense -ED is far more common), but is one of the most common patterns in wrong-guess feedback — if you know two consonants and a vowel, testing -ING vs -ONE vs -ATE narrows the answer set fastest.
