A Smart Way to Use Both Letters
The first box is the biggest unknown, and P, B and G are the strongest openers to test. If the opener comes back grey, test A in the third box, since it is the single most common middle letter here. The fixed R and E 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, R is worth one point and E is worth one point. Knowing words such as PRICE, DRIVE and TRADE helps you use both tiles quickly when they land on your rack.
