Two times.

TWICE as a word-puzzle answer

TWICE is a 5-letter word with 2 vowels (I, E) and 3 consonants (T, W, C). Every letter is distinct, so it rarely punishes a clean opening guess.

It leans on high-frequency letters (T, I, E), so a strong vowel-and-common-consonant opener tends to light up quickly. Watch for the less-common letter W — saving a guess to test it once the vowels are placed is usually the fastest route.
