A Wordle Tip for This Pattern
Begin with F, A and B in the first box, because they open the largest groups. If the opener comes back grey, test E in the third box, since it is the single most common middle letter here. The fixed L and T do a lot of the work, so use your guesses on the three open boxes rather than on those two letters.
Playing This Pattern in Word Games
In Scrabble, L is worth one point and T is worth one point. Words like PLANT, ALERT and FLEET are handy to remember when you hold both of these letters.
