Using this focused list
This page collects curated 5-letter words that end with R. Use it when a crossword, word-game pattern or writing prompt gives you a known final letter. Common examples include ACTOR, AFTER and ALTER. Start with these visible candidates, then compare each one with the clue, known positions and the rules of the game you are playing.
When this list helps
A confirmed final letter can reduce a crossword or word-game pattern quickly. Endings also help when you are comparing grammatical forms, rhyme-like sounds or a board hook that must finish on a particular square. For writing, they can prompt useful alternatives with a similar cadence. Because these are 5-letter candidates, the list also gives you a fixed shape for checking spelling and possible clue answers.
How to narrow it further
If you also know the opening or middle letters, combine those constraints in Word Finder. Use Word Unscrambler for a mixed rack, or Anagram Solver for exact rearrangements. When the ending comes from a crossword clue, ClueHub offers a clue-focused route. For a five-letter daily puzzle with confirmed, misplaced and excluded letters, Wordle Solver applies those positional clues directly.
Check before you play
The score badges use standard English-language Scrabble tile values before board bonuses. The highest-scoring word here is MAJOR at 14 points. This is a curated browsing list, not an official dictionary, and competitive games may use their own accepted-word list. Check the dictionary selected by your game when a ruling matters.
