I didn’t think that my 2nd guess was a valid solution, but couldn’t come up with anything else. So I put it in, hoping that it would at least gain me some info, which it did.

SLANT
LEARN - coulda been GNARL, but that seemed kinda dubious

I saw the solution right off, but I spent awhile checking into the different ways those two yellows could be positioned first before going with the obvious.

ETA: This is my 700th game. Stats later.

DAISY → Give me your answer true. OK need three out of T, R, L, and N, and either E or O. Hmm… wonder if Wordle includes obscure acronyms?
LORAN → Yes it does, and if I had thought a little longer I might have settled instead a common word with an E…
LEARN

I mean, 3’s not bad, but it feels like a par-3 word, you know?

A quick deuce for me too (though not symmetrical).
I counted 7 actual legit words among Scoredle’s list of 42, so I’ll cop to a bit of luck here.

IRATE
LEARN

I spotted LEARN right away and it was such a Wordle word, I was certain it was the answer. I later learned (ha!) from WordleBot that there were 10 possibilities after IRATE – but I didn’t stop to try them. LEARN would have eliminated 8 of them if it hadn’t been the word of the day.

This was my 709th consecutive game.
