About the suffix -LESS
The suffix less means “without”: careless, hopeless, endless. It is the natural partner of -ful, and many base words take both, giving pairs like careful and careless. Like -ness, it is still freely used to coin new words, and it usually leaves the base word's spelling untouched.
That regularity shows up in the numbers: a large share of the words on this page remain a word when the last four letters are removed. The exceptions are mostly words where L-E-S-S is not a suffix at all, such as bless and unless.
Adverbs and nouns built on -less words, such as carelessly and carelessness, end in other letters and appear on other ending pages. In word games, -less can turn a short noun into a long adjective with four common letters, two of them S, so it is worth checking when you hold a pair of S tiles.
