Instead, I went with > M_U_SE_R_ β†’ (which wouldn’t have made much of a difference in the long run, but…) so now U R unplaced. Try it with an O and two consonants, and since I overheard someone talking about their baby yesterday, try > C **ROU** _P_ β†’ which points directly to the answer > **PROUD** > Should I have figured this, given the month? On the plus side, after my second guess Scoredle gives the same pair of guesses for par that I made. ---
