Hi,
Do you know the answer? Or do you just want to hear what others think? Anyhow, I think the letters are: O and H, because you can spell 'oh' and you can spell 'ho'. It has to be a palindrome: a word that can be spelt the same forwards AND backwards. An example is: RACECAR

Maybe I'm over thinking this but, assuming the crossword is in english:
Statsically, he should have just written the letter E, over and over agian. That would have been the very best approach.
The next most common letters would be T, A and R. With the 'worlds most difficult crossword' I'd probably go with A as my second choice, since it's the next most frequent in the dictionary, although T is the next most frequent in common prose use.
But still, he'd win more by just filling in every spot with E. Unless the crossword was rigged agianst it the letter E.
