Splitting sentence to see what word ends with the most common letter.

I am trying to find the letter that the most words in a sentence ends with and all the words that ends with that letter in the following variable. Jen Choi J Meacham Jason Anders Jason Anello Coen van Campenhout

Its my homework and I have tried the split function but it doesn't help and the slice function but it takes to long:.Based on the following variable:

\\\ var sentence = 'Down by the river there is a man that quiver and shiver, but he needs to deliver a packet that he think is a big racket and a packet of of gum.' \\\

You forgot to show your work.

Split should work, but you may have forgotten that you need to remove the punctuation first or ignore it while splitting. Here's an example with a combination of both:

var words = sentence.replace(".","").split(/,? /);

Final answer: MostUsedEnding = "t" — ContributingWords = ["that", "but", "packet", "that", "racket", "packet"]
