Reading the Letter Pair
B and J are both consonants, so the open boxes usually carry the vowels, as in OBJET, ABJAD and ABJUD. Most of the familiar words open with a vowel. The fifth box is most often D and T, which makes it the quickest place to settle the ending.
A Smart Way to Use Both Letters
Begin with A and O in the first box, because they open the largest groups. After that, test D in the fifth box, since it is the single most common final letter here. The fixed B 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 B as the 2nd letter and 5 letter words with J as the 3rd letter.
