So, the aforementioned VIDEO? Or could it be > **DICEY** > > Scoredle finishes in three. It turned out my elimination word on two was darn near wasted; if I had thought about it, something with a D would have been a better choice since so many of those common consonants are used when pairing with other consonants, which wasn’t going to happen here. ---
