Pattern Notes
The repeated T is the signature of this pattern, and it shows up in TOTAL, TITLE and TUTOR. Most of the familiar words have a vowel in the second box. The fifth box is most often L, E and R, which makes it the quickest place to settle the ending.
A Smart Way to Use Both Letters
The second box is the biggest unknown, and O, I and U are the strongest letters to test. After that, test L in the fifth box, since it is the single most common final letter here. The fixed T and T 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 T and 5 letter words with T as the 3rd letter.
Using These Words in Scrabble
