Please take a look at the following Turing-machine:
Whatever the words may look like, they definitely have to end on a b, right? Because once the machine read the word, it looks at the first box symbol, from where it goes left. Now, it needs to look at a $b$ to go any further.
Is this correct?
You may also look at this turing-machine:
I'm looking for certain words here (it's a riddle) and I'm given the information that both turing-machines end on the same symbol. In the second turing-machine, I'm looking for a word of length 4. But wouldn't the only possiblity be the word be c|a|b|c then?
Unfortunately, this doesn't fit to the first turing-machine.


For the first machine: No, the word would not end with a $b$, since even if we assume that when it reaches the $\square / \square, L$ command the machine is to the right of any of the actual letters on the tape, after that it would have to read and write a $c$, move left, replace a $c$ with a $b$, move left, read and write an $a$ and stop ... meaning that the end of the word would have to be $abc$ .... which fits what you're saying for the second machine.
