Reading the Letter Pair
R and M are both consonants, so the open boxes usually carry the vowels, as in REMIX, RUMOR and RAMPS. Most of the familiar words have a vowel in the second box. The fifth box is most often X, R and S, which makes it the quickest place to settle the ending.
Quick Strategy for This Pattern
The second box is the biggest unknown, and E, U and A are the strongest letters to test. After that, test X in the fifth box, since it is the single most common final letter here. The fixed R and M do a lot of the work, so spend your guesses on the three open boxes. For a wider view, see 5 letter words starting with R and 5 letter words with M as the 3rd letter.
