Well, need to try at least two vowels, but I couldn’t see something with that as well as L, N & R, so I compromised with > _P_O_L_AR β†’ wihch was a lucky hit on the P. It was getting harder to think of word that applied, and again I couldn’t find a word with N, but I still needed vowels, so I hunted for two of them > _L_U_MP_Y β†’ and missed on both, so I knew there was at least one I, and, not being able to β€œJumble out” a word with two Is, I figured there had to be one more consonant, and putting the I in the middle, and working through possibles, came up with > **BLIMP** > > This one felt a bit of a slog. Scoredle also solves in 4 from STEEL, but doesn’t get even a single other letter until the last guess. ---
