A Smart Way to Use Both Letters
Begin with Q, B and G in the first box, because they open the largest groups. After that, the third box is the next best place to spend a guess, with I the most likely letter. The fixed U and T do a lot of the work, so use your guesses on the three open boxes rather than on those two letters.
