Pattern Notes

R and M are both consonants, so the open boxes usually carry the vowels, as in ARMED, ARMOR and ARMER. Most of the familiar words open with a vowel. The fifth box is most often R, D and N, which makes it the quickest place to settle the ending.

How to Narrow It Down

The first box is the biggest unknown, and A, O and U are the strongest openers to test. If the opener comes back grey, move to the ending and try R in the fifth box. 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 with R as the 2nd letter and 5 letter words with M as the 3rd letter.
