Reading the Letter Pair

The pair mixes a vowel with a consonant, which gives the words a natural, easy to pronounce rhythm, as in JIHAD, NIHIL and BIHON. Most of the familiar words open with a consonant. The fifth box is most often S, D and L, which makes it the quickest place to settle the ending.

How to Narrow It Down

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