Scoredle goes the other way on the second guess, and ends up with a birdie also. ---

If there was any doubt that we were seriously into slang territory, finding that BOOBY and BOOZY had both been used was sufficient to dispel all doubts. If my 4th guess had been a miss, KOOKY and WOOZY would have been my 5th and 6th guesses. ---
