A Wordle Tip for This Pattern
With so few words to choose from, you can test them one by one, starting with ITCHY. The fixed T and C do a lot of the work, so spend your guesses on the three open boxes. For a wider view, see 5 letter words with T as the 2nd letter and 5 letter words with C as the 3rd letter. Keep a note of any grey letters as you go, because every letter you rule out removes whole groups of words from the open boxes. If two guesses in a row bring no new tiles, switch to a word that tests several fresh letters at once.
Using These Words in Scrabble
In Scrabble, T is worth one point and C is worth three points. Knowing words such as ITCHY helps you use both tiles quickly when they land on your rack.
