Reading the Letter Pair

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

A Smart Way to Use Both Letters

Begin with A, U and O in the first box, because they open the largest groups. After that, test S in the fifth box, since it is the single most common final letter here. The fixed R 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 R as the 2nd letter and 5 letter words with G as the 3rd letter.
