Pattern Notes
The pair mixes a vowel with a consonant, which gives the words a natural, easy to pronounce rhythm, as in ROGER, LOGIC and ROGUE. Most of the familiar words open with a consonant. The fifth box is most often Y, E and N, which makes it the quickest place to settle the ending.
A Wordle Tip for This Pattern
The first box is the biggest unknown, and L, R and D are the strongest openers to test. If the opener comes back grey, move to the ending and try Y in the fifth box. The fixed O and G do a lot of the work, so spend your guesses on the three open boxes. For a wider view, see 5 letter words with O as the 2nd letter and 5 letter words with G as the 3rd letter.
Scrabble and Other Word Games
In Scrabble, O is worth one point and G is worth two points. Words like ROGER, LOGIC and ROGUE are handy to remember when you hold both of these letters.
