A Smart Way to Use Both Letters
Begin with E, A and I in the first box, because they open the largest groups. If the opener comes back grey, test I in the third box, since it is the single most common middle letter here. The fixed M and S 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, M is worth three points and S is worth one point. Words like EMITS, EMMYS and AMISS are handy to remember when you hold both of these letters.
