Reading the Letter Pair

L and G are both consonants, so the open boxes usually carry the vowels, as in ALGAE, ALGAL and ALGOS. Most of the familiar words open with a vowel. The fifth box is most often S, E and L, which makes it the quickest place to settle the ending.

Quick Strategy for This Pattern

Every word begins with A, so the first box is already solved and your guesses can go straight to the last two boxes. After that, test S in the fifth box, since it is the single most common final letter here. The fixed L and G do a lot of the work, so spend your guesses on the three open boxes.
