Together, S and H spell the hushing sound at the end of 5 letter words that end in SH, and the letters before it are the puzzle.
Directly before that sound, the middle square of most of them is a vowel, as CRASH and BRUSH show.
When that vowel turns green, the opening blend is what remains, so try FRESH or FLASH to test an R or L second.
