I don't know all the words, but here are a few:
modest, biggest, widest; wisest; lowest, highest, deepest, finest, ripest, sharpest, cutest, smartest, smelliest, happiest, silliest; funniest; tiniest; tastiest; youngest; quietest; longest; shortest; tallest; spookiest, lamest, craziest, nicest, bravest, slowest, fastest, best, nest, test, vest, pest, guest, fullest; zest; west, bluest, coolest, rest, quest, chest, jest, arrest, strangest, weirdest, crest, wrest, stupiest, smartest, creativest
Many (but not all) words that end in -est are the superlative form of an adjective. For example, the comparative form of old is older, and the superlative form is oldest.
Please note that this is not the way all adjectives form the comparative and superlative: long adjectives (and some shorter ones) do not form the comparative and superlative with endings, but instead put "more" and "most" before the adjective. For example, the comparative form of dangerous is more dangerous, and the superlative form is most dangerous. Also, some adjectives have irregular comparative and superlative forms, such as worse and worst for the adjective bad.
Finally, as stated above, many words that end in -est have nothing to do with the superlative form of an adjective. Examples are behest, crest, earnest, guest, interest, jest, lest, nest, pest, quest, rest, test, vest, west, and zest.
Most adjectives with only one or two syllables can take the superlative (-est) suffix: mad=>maddest, happy=>happiest
The meaning of -est is comparative to. This means cruelest is comparative to cruel.
