A Smart Way to Use Both Letters
Begin with F, H and V in the first box, because they open the largest groups. After that, the third box is the next best place to spend a guess, with I the most likely letter. The fixed A and T do a lot of the work, so use your guesses on the three open boxes rather than on those two letters.
Using These Words in Scrabble
In Scrabble, A is worth one point and T is worth one point. Knowing words such as FAULT, PAINT and SAINT helps you use both tiles quickly when they land on your rack.
