Game Strategy
TRAIN, TABLE, THUMB and TOWER are strong T-openers that test the common TH and TR blends alongside frequent vowels.
Going Deeper
T-initial fives fall into TH- (THUMB, THINK, THREE), TR- (TRAIN, TREAT, TRUCK) and T-vowel (TABLE, TIGER, TOWER) groups. TH is one of the most common English bigrams, so if you have a yellow H, a TH- word is very likely. Set the length filter to 5 and filter starts-with T.
