Starts and Endings

Every word here begins with U as in UNHIP. The last box is most often T and P. A few of these entries are rarer words that mostly appear in Scrabble and other word games, so check them against your word list.

What the Letter Pair Tells You

N and H are both consonants, so the open boxes usually carry the vowels, as in UNHIP, UNHAT and UNHIT. Most of the familiar words open with a vowel. The fifth box is most often T and P, which makes it the quickest place to settle the ending.

Quick Strategy for This Pattern

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

Scrabble and Other Word Games

In Scrabble, N is worth one point and H is worth four points. Words like UNHIP, UNHAT and UNHIT are handy to remember when you hold both of these letters.
