5 letter words ending in AB almost always take a consonant in the third position. Words such as DORAB, ESTAB and GULAB all keep that shape.
Because the A and B are fixed as a pair, the other three tiles are what is left to test. Starting with a consonant there ends more of the puzzle than a vowel does.
