What the Letter Pair Tells You

The pair mixes a consonant with a vowel, which gives the words a natural, easy to pronounce rhythm, as in AGING, AGILE and AGIOS. Most of the familiar words open with a vowel. The fifth box is most often E, G and S, which makes it the quickest place to settle the ending.

A Smart Way to Use Both Letters

The first box is the biggest unknown, and A and O are the strongest openers to test. If the opener comes back grey, move to the ending and try E in the fifth box. The fixed G and I do a lot of the work, so spend your guesses on the three open boxes. For a wider view, see 5 letter words with G as the 2nd letter and 5 letter words with I as the 3rd letter.
