Not really. What makes this a trie? Where did you get this code from?

The lambda is exactly equivalent to:
# Trie = lambda: collections.defaultdict(Trie)
def Trie():
return collections.defaultdict(Trie)
Does that help?
The call to reduce (inside the loop) can be re-written as (untested):
# for i, word in enumerate(words):
# reduce(dict.__getitem__, word, trie)[END] = i
for i, word in enumerate(words):
value = trie
for item in word:
value = value[item]
value[END] = i
