What the Letter Pair Tells You

The pair mixes a vowel with a consonant, which gives the words a natural, easy to pronounce rhythm, as in MAJOR, CAJUN and NAJIB. Most of the familiar words open with a consonant. The fifth box is most often N, R and B, which makes it the quickest place to settle the ending.

How to Narrow It Down

The first box is the biggest unknown, and C, M and N are the strongest openers to test. After that, test N in the fifth box, since it is the single most common final letter here. The fixed A and J do a lot of the work, so spend your guesses on the three open boxes. For a wider view, see 5 letter words with A as the 2nd letter and 5 letter words with J as the 3rd letter.
