A Smart Way to Use Both Letters
The first box is the biggest unknown, and C, T and S are the strongest openers to test. After that, the third box is the next best place to spend a guess, with I the most likely letter. The fixed H and A do a lot of the work, so use your guesses on the three open boxes rather than on those two letters.
