Quick Strategy for This Pattern
The first box is the biggest unknown, and C, G and T are the strongest openers to test. If the opener comes back grey, test E in the third box, since it is the single most common middle letter here. The fixed R and T 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 T is worth one point. Knowing words such as GREAT, FRONT and TRUST helps you use both tiles quickly when they land on your rack.
