Reading the Letter Pair

A Wordle Tip for This Pattern

Every word begins with A, so the first box is already solved and your guesses can go straight to the last two boxes. If the opener comes back grey, move to the ending and try S in the fifth box. The fixed T 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 T as the 2nd letter and 5 letter words with M as the 3rd letter.
