Great second word; TOXIN was the only “real” word left, according to Scoredle.  
Plus, I got a nice symmetrical pattern!

PLANT

SNORT

Couldn’t find any way to work in eos or eor for my second word. I considered snort but really wanted to check two vowels, so I went off the reservation and checked i. Happy with the 3 but it probably should have been a 2.
