After 2 I got all excited about fruit, to the point I actually typed it in, but then I realized I already knew T didnβt go in last position. So then it was all about starting with TR, and I figured truth would help place the T if it wasnβt the answer.

Probably would have been a three if Iβd slowed down and thought about it some more. Doubling up on unplaced letters is usually Scordleβs strategy, but it would have gone for HURTY at three, so I guess I donβt feel so bad about RUNTY.

I thought about TRUMP for my 3rd guess but didnβt think that could be a solution, even though itβs a real word. I wonder if itβs on the list of valid words? Is there such a list?
