F and R are both consonants, so the open boxes usually carry the vowels, as in AFROS, AFRET and AFRIT. Most of the familiar words open with a vowel. The fifth box is most often T and S, which makes it the quickest place to settle the ending.

How to Narrow It Down

Every word begins with A, so the first box is already solved and your guesses can go straight to the last two boxes. If the opener comes back grey, move to the ending and try T in the fifth box. The fixed F and R do a lot of the work, so spend your guesses on the three open boxes. For a wider view, see 5 letter words with F as the 2nd letter and 5 letter words with R as the 3rd letter.
