Reading the Letter Pair

T and H are both consonants, so the open boxes usually carry the vowels, as in OTHER, ETHIC and ETHER. Most of the familiar words open with a vowel. The fifth box is most often R, C and S, which makes it the quickest place to settle the ending.

How to Narrow It Down

Begin with E and O in the first box, because they open the largest groups. If the opener comes back grey, move to the ending and try R in the fifth box. The fixed T and H 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 H as the 3rd letter.
