Pattern Notes

The pair mixes a consonant with a vowel, which gives the words a natural, easy to pronounce rhythm, as in DJINN, EJIDO and AJIES. Most of the familiar words open with a vowel. The fifth box is most often S, N and O, which makes it the quickest place to settle the ending.

A Smart Way to Use Both Letters

Begin with D, A and E in the first box, because they open the largest groups. If the opener comes back grey, move to the ending and try S in the fifth box. The fixed J 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 J as the 2nd letter and 5 letter words with I as the 3rd letter.
