HOUSE

I did something I rarely do and checked the used words list. I figured I was down to HOUSE or MOUSE and didn’t want to waste a guess. I missed seeing DOUSE and COUPE, so a bit of luck came my way as well.

Lots of 3s around here today! I’m one, too.

A very lucky pair of solutions between yesterday and today for me. Scoredle had four options after the first guess.

Well, you had already excluded N with your opening word.

Ah, crap. Sneer deserved.

Nice quick birdie. I didn’t expect to hit on the H and not the A, but after that happened, the solution became immediately evident.

Well, scootch over, @Chefguy. My second word narrowed it down to two choices – and I chose wrong. :slight_smile:
