Answers: Why do they give R S T L N E?

Because for the first twenty or so years of the show they only let contestants pick 5 consonants and 1 vowel 9 times out of ten the contestant would pick RSTLN E, so they made that the standard and started allowing and extra 2 consonants and 1 vowel.

Because people were always picking those letters anyways.

They're the most popular, most chosen letters, so they changed the rules to make it easier on the contestant. They didn't used to give any - you picked 5 consonants and a vowel. As game shows get on in years, the producers have to up the prizes - and the chances of winning - so people will continue to watch.

Because they are the most used constants used in the English language.
