How to Narrow It Down
The first box is the biggest unknown, and S, T and R are the strongest openers to test. If the opener comes back grey, test M in the third box, since it is the single most common middle letter here. The fixed U and R 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, U is worth one point and R is worth one point. Words like SUPER, SUGAR and OUTER are handy to remember when you hold both of these letters.
