HORSE → A pretty good start. Two common consonants and a vowel, coming right up…
LATER → Four outta five. Still got another WoF consonant to try, can’t do it with LEARN, but the anagram…
RENAL → Ohhh, so close.
REGAL

Scoredle again goes with repeated letters - it wanted to try REFER for the second guess. But then, it wanted to try the solution third, so I guess I wear the dunce cap on this one.

I probably should have seen the AL ending at two, but I always want to slide E and A together. A four was probably in the cards either way.

Author_Balk mentioned that word last week. Apparently it’s the starting word for those algorithms that manage to average 3.4212 guesses per day.

I still like my current starting word better.

Looks like the New York Times licensed Wordle to CBS, as there is now a Wordle game show called Lingo that airs after Survivor.
