Need to hunt for some vowels, so two more comcons means my second guess word of > _RO_AS_T_ β†’ Really should try something with L or N, but I also like to try a TH- word. For a second I thought about THROB, but saw I’d already checked the R in the middle, so rearranged it to spell > **BROTH** > > I feel really lucky on this one. Scoredle takes all six guesses to solve from my start, and I had at least eight valid possibles with the third guess (including TROCK, go figure). ---
