Reading the Letter Pair
The pair mixes a vowel with a consonant, which gives the words a natural, easy to pronounce rhythm, as in DUTCH, OUTER and TUTOR. Most of the familiar words open with a consonant. The fifth box is most often H, R and S, which makes it the quickest place to settle the ending.
How to Narrow It Down
The first box is the biggest unknown, and B, D and O are the strongest openers to test. After that, test H in the fifth box, since it is the single most common final letter here. The fixed U 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 with U as the 2nd letter and 5 letter words with T as the 3rd letter.
Using These Words in Scrabble
