Saw four possibilities pretty quickly: broke, grove, froze and drove. I stopped looking and started checking previous answers, eliminating broke and grove and leaving froze as the “first” one I saw.

Happy to get out of this one with a par. After identifying the _RO_E trap, I had a long list of words with consonants that don’t play well together (PDVFGKZB); I couldn’t check any four of them at once. But PAVED eliminated everything but BROKE and FROZE, and I won the coin toss for a change.
HOUSE improves slightly from a 4.18 average to 4.17.

BURLY → Slow start. Gimme two other vowels
TRAIN → Really slow start. Last two vowels, please…
PROSE → Hit 'em both! But now it looks traplike. Let’s see, FROZE, GROVE, DROME?? Hope that’s all there is…
GROVE → Not that.
FROZE
And if it had been ERODE, I would have lost. Should have tried DROME with the fourth guess, for safety’s sake, had I seen it.
Looks like a five is a good score for those who don’t check word lists (which seems to take the challenge out of things IMO)

And I think using test words not in hard mode takes the challenge out of things. 
I play in hard mode and that’s challenging enough for me, thanks. I do check the already-used list. I usually remember about half the words that have already been played, but far from all.
This morning, I was advised by WordleBot that there were 18 choices after my opening word. I think I found all 18. Half of them were already used. I was able to eliminate all but 5 with my second word, of which 2 had already been used. Try #3 was just a matter of choosing the word I thought was the most Wordle-y.

The other 2 that had not already been used were DROVE and CRONE.

Kicking myself over this one. I saw 7 possibilities after my second guess, but there was an eighth I missed, and it was the solution. I certainly considered hypothetical FRO_E words, but somehow I just missed that there was a word that filled in that blank.
Turned out that of the 7 possibilities I saw, 5 of them had already been used, so I was down to DROVE and GROPE. When neither was the solution, I was ready to consider repeats, except I’d already eliminated all but one of those as well. So finally I went back through my remaining letters, finally saw it, and kicked myself. Because if I’d seen it along with the other possibilities, I’d have chosen it before my 3rd and 4th guesses.
Grrr. Argh.

I was a bit reluctant to go with the solution because it’s the past tense of a verb, and from looking at the list of past answers, I see there are just one or two past tense of a verb answers. I say “one or two” because they’re SPOKE and WROTE, and the former could be a noun and not a past tense.
And according to WordleBot, 8% of Hard Mode players didn’t solve it, so I’m fine with a 5
spoiler regarding potential future answers
It’s just the regular ED past tense verbs that aren’t on the list. Except one, though I forget which one. A regular ED past tense verb appeared as an answer in quordle, which pissed me off, so I looked it up in the original Wordle answer list and it was there as well.
Any past tense verbs that involve more than just adding ED are valid answers. Dried, fried and cried, for example. I haven’t checked but I would bet a dollar that stunk is on there as well. Anything like that.
EDIT: And I see in the previous answers list that both wrote and wrung have already been answers.
Was it CLUED?
I don’t clearly remember. I think it might have been muted. Of course that’s also an adjective, so if it was that I was wrong to be annoyed.
EDIT: Found it. It wasn’t muted, it was bused, which is also on the original Wordle answer list.
