5 letter words ending in ES show a consonant in the third position in nearly nine cases out of ten. Words such as YEDES, YESES and YEVES all keep it, and R fills the third position more than any other letter.
Given that the E and S are fixed as a pair, the other three tiles are what is left to test. Testing a consonant there rules out more than testing a vowel.
32 have a doubled letter. 82 are words most players would guess without hesitation.
