#367 3/6

Looks like I’m not the only one who had a bit of deja vu with #358.

SLANT
BLEAT
GLOAT

Yesterday’s was an uninteresting 4/6, at least from my starting words.

I should have at least played one of the _LOAT words first, but since Float was a word not that long ago, I just took a chance on it not being one of those words. So 4 it is for today.

This is an example of a different pronunciation hiding from me. I actually looked at AW_UL but didn’t see anything because I was expecting the accent to be on the second syllable. That’s why I foolishly tried afoul, which probably isn’t even in the answer list. Well, maybe. It’s borderline.
