Re-chunking the letters to form meaningful words would make it easier for Jeff to remember them as he can associate them with a meaningful context. For example, he could rearrange them to form words like TAX, BIRD, or TRIP, which would make it easier for him to recall the letters. Waiting, reading them once or arranging them alphabetically would not help with chunking and meaningful association.
