How to Narrow It Down
The first box is the biggest unknown, and S, G and F are the strongest openers to test. After that, the third box is the next best place to spend a guess, with A the most likely letter. The fixed L and E do a lot of the work, so use your guesses on the three open boxes rather than on those two letters.
Scrabble and Other Word Games
In Scrabble, L is worth one point and E is worth one point. Knowing words such as PLACE, CLOSE and ALONE helps you use both tiles quickly when they land on your rack.
