Of course the Bot was sniffy about it. Fair enough.

That’s a nice bounceback after yesterday’s debacle, though there was a three-way trap spoiler[/spoiler] waiting for me if I had missed (TROVE would have been an easy tap-in on three). New streak: 1 and counting!

I wasn’t 100% positive intro would be a valid answer. Valid guess, definitely, but answer? Then I thought back to other edge cases and figured it was. (eg: metro)

OVERT → Hey, that’s a pretty good start. I think I’ll focus on consonants next; I tried to find a word with both S & T but could only see one with one of them, so
THORN → and that worked well. T pretty much has to go before the R, then move O to the end and I should try an N because I’m really seeing
NITRO → but I should have looked again and swapped the first two letters.
INTRO

So close to a 3. Scoredle matches my second guess, but makes the right move on the third. Still, happy with a par.

Not happy with this solution, but it was either this or NITRO, which was equally not-a-word.
