A Wordle Tip for This Pattern
The first box is the biggest unknown, and C, G and T 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 P 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, R is worth one point and P is worth three points. Knowing words such as GROUP, GRASP and CREEP helps you use both tiles quickly when they land on your rack.
