Early guesses lean on a GR blend, so 5 letter words starting with GR get tested before the answer's vowel is known.
A or O follows the blend more than I or E, as in GRADE and GROWN, so the third square is where to test.
Once the blend is green, an A tried third, as in GRADE, narrows the answer quickest.
