A Smart Way to Use Both Letters
Every word begins with S, so the first box is already solved and your guesses can go straight to the open middle boxes. If the opener comes back grey, test A in the third box, since it is the single most common middle letter here. The fixed T 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, T is worth one point and E is worth one point. Knowing words such as STATE, STYLE and STAGE helps you use both tiles quickly when they land on your rack.
