Wouldn’t you know I have to exhaust all of 'em before I get it right? At least Scoredle makes a detour through BRASS right after my starting word, but thereafter its guesses looks remarkably like mine, also finishing in 6. ---

The reason I got a 2 was luck. If you pick the right start word, and I do different ones, this time it worked. I am happy though. ---
