A Wordle Tip for This Pattern

Begin with A and U in the first box, because they open the largest groups. If the opener comes back grey, move to the ending and try R in the fifth box. The fixed L and T do a lot of the work, so spend your guesses on the three open boxes. For a wider view, see 5 letter words with L as the 2nd letter and 5 letter words with T as the 3rd letter.
