How to Narrow It Down
The first box is the biggest unknown, and S, E and A 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 M 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, M is worth three points and T is worth one point. Words like SMART, SMELT and EMMET are handy to remember when you hold both of these letters.
