Reading the Letter Pair

The pair mixes a vowel with a consonant, which gives the words a natural, easy to pronounce rhythm, as in PUJAS, JUJUS and FUJIS. Most of the familiar words open with a consonant. The fifth box is most often S, K and L, which makes it the quickest place to settle the ending.

A Smart Way to Use Both Letters

Begin with P, J and F in the first box, because they open the largest groups. After that, test S in the fifth box, since it is the single most common final letter here. The fixed U and J do a lot of the work, so spend your guesses on the three open boxes. For a wider view, see 5 letter words with U as the 2nd letter and 5 letter words with J as the 3rd letter.
