I would normally want to go O here with three WoFcons, but the I really asserted itself, so > **S** T_A_I_N_ β†’ I thought about how to make this one work, since SANO? goes nowhere, so the O is pretty much out. Then one word occurred to me which did the Scoredle repeat-letter trick, so I tried > **SA** U_N_A β†’ which meant I had SAN?? with no vowels left but the Y, so a moment staring at the board led to > **SANDY** > > It was nice to have a short one to start today as it promises to be busy. Scoredle employs its repeat-letter trick not once but twice; it actually has a trap of four letters after its fouth guess and makes a 1-in-4 guess to finish with a bogey. (Naturally, it does a lot better from its own start.) ---
