Video Summary

To write the word KENGU by selecting one letter from each of the five boxes, Sophie must strategically choose letters to minimize options in subsequent boxes. Starting with box 3, which has only an "N," she selects it and eliminates other "N's" from consideration. Box 1 then only has "E" left, so she chooses that and crosses out other "E's." Box 5 is left with "U," so she picks it and removes other "U's." Finally, box 4 only has "G" after these eliminations, so she selects "G." Therefore, Sophie must take "G" from box 4.
