ALIVE → Solid start. Need to try a pair of comcons… and place the E. I think I’ll try the Scoredle trick and try it in two places.
SLEET → Hey, that worked! ?LE?T, R & N comcons remain, ?LERT/?LENT go nowhere (ALERT is out), need to look at rarer consonants, took a little while to see
CLEFT

I just want to point out that Scoredle did exactly the same thing on its second guess, given my initial guess, so that’s cool.

Shenanigans!

The fact that this “word” passed muster for two people – the original creator and the new editor – just makes it that much more infuriating.
