I mean, ASCOT was in play here. (Probably should have tried it). But I went with an A, a WoFcon, and another letter that fit with the C to get > **S** NA_C_K β†’ (Should have tried SCARE here instead). So now it’s definitely time to check two vowels, to which I add a less-common consonant and try > **SCO** PE β†’ which looks really trappish. I’m frowning right now, so I decided to try > **SCO** WL β†’ which went nowhere, Took a break here and came back to it and immediately saw one with a repeat letter, so took a deep breath and tried > **SCO** TS β†’ then, trying desperately to save my streak, cast around for any and all unused letters that could fit, and fortunately landed on > **SCOFF** > > Well, that was a near-disaster, though even Scoredle has a tough time with it, finishing in 6 from CRUSH and 5 from its normal start word, SLATE. ---

I did my usual random guessing up to three then forced myself to check all of the possibilities. I came up wit CAPON and BACON. I was pretty sure that BACON was already an answer but CAPON seemed unlikely so ZI went for BACON and was reassured when I realized it was CAPON except it wasn’t. I found CANON and just hoped I didn’t miss any other answers. ---
