Common E-Ending Patterns

E-ending words follow predictable patterns that help players construct valid words. The "-ble" suffix creates adjectives and nouns (able, table, trouble, incredible). The "-ate" suffix forms verbs and adjectives (create, donate, separate, fortunate). The "-ive" suffix creates adjectives (active, creative, positive, negative). The "-ine" suffix appears in nouns and adjectives (machine, routine, medicine, feminine). The "-ize" suffix creates verbs (realize, organize, emphasize, summarize). Recognizing these patterns accelerates word construction.
