A Smart Way to Use the Fourth Letter
E, H, Y and S in the fifth box are the first tests, with TE and TH the strongest groups. A vowel in the third box often comes before the T in STATE, WHITE and QUITE. After that, the first few letters decide between the remaining candidates.

Frequently asked questions
What is the quickest way to tell TE from TH words
