How to Narrow It Down
The first box is the biggest unknown, and R, W and C are the strongest openers to test. If the opener comes back grey, test L in the third box, since it is the single most common middle letter here. The fixed O and N 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, O is worth one point and N is worth one point. Words like WOMAN, DOZEN and ROBIN are handy to remember when you hold both of these letters.
