Luckily evaded the trap by excluding the N and P with the second word, leaving TOXIC.

Made the right guess. Could’ve just as easily been a 4. :slight_smile:

TAILS → Can’t think of much starting with TI, so let’s try an O and something with two syllables…
TOPIC → Sooooo close.
TOXIC

Scoredle wanted TASTY as my second guess. It really seems to be hung up on repeated letters.

P had been eliminated by guess 2, or I likely would have tried TOPIC before TOXIC.

Couldn’t manage to come up with a research word for 2 so I just started guessing for the win. I saw pinch before punch, and I’m not sure if ponch is actually in the answer list. Probably not. Fortunately I had already eliminated pagan.

After 2 I saw piney but decided that wouldn’t be an answer. Except that it turns out it already was an answer. Go figure.

EDIT: Ha! It’s spelled paunch, not ponch. I’m not the brightest bulb on the string.

Well that didn’t go well. Forgot to play the O in my third word, and then forgot it even existed. I was stumped after my 4th word, but finally saw the O in yellow.
