A Smart Way to Use Both Letters
The first box is the biggest unknown, and T, C and B 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 R and H do a lot of the work, so use your guesses on the three open boxes rather than on those two letters.
Scrabble and Other Word Games
In Scrabble, R is worth one point and H is worth four points. Words like TRUTH, FRESH and CRASH are handy to remember when you hold both of these letters.
