Why the last letter is the useful one

In a crossword, the final square is very often the first one a crossing answer fills in. In Scrabble, the last letter is what lets you hook onto something already on the board. Either way you tend to know how a word ends before you know how it starts, which makes this list more practically useful than the equivalent list of beginnings.

Search by full pattern if you know more than the ending.
