Plurals, past tenses, comparatives and agent nouns all crowd onto a handful of final pairs, which is why some endings return hundreds of words and others barely clear the cutoff.

Quick answers
How many 8-letter words ending in ns are there?
987 of them, out of 40,649 eight-letter words, or about 2.4% of the length. That makes "ns" one of the busiest endings at this length, ranked 8 of the 112 pairs with enough words to list.
Why does this page only cover 8-letter words?
Because a length and an ending together are what you usually know. If you need a different size, the list below moves "ns" to the other lengths that have enough words to be worth a page. Dropping the length entirely gives you every word ending in S instead.
What usually comes next in these words?
The letter just inside the fixed pair is most often O (323), I (282), E (145). Two-letter endings do most of the grammatical work in English. Plurals, past tenses, comparatives and agent nouns all crowd onto a handful of final pairs, which is why some endings return hundreds of words and others barely clear the cutoff.
Do you have a page for every two-letter ending?
No, and deliberately so. A pair only gets a page when at least 35 eight-letter words share it. Below that the list is too short to be worth a visit, so we send you to the single-letter list instead.
Are proper nouns or abbreviations included?
No. Only standard dictionary words appear, which matches what Wordle, Scrabble, and crossword grids accept. A missing word is almost always a name, a hyphenation, or an abbreviation.
