Nice to hit that V out of the gate. Turns out I had a one in four shot at the birdie; I only saw COVER and MOVER, and not HOVER or ROVER. Had I been more diligent, I likely would have used a sleuth word at three, so yay for careless play!

There is no way I should have gotten this in three, other than dumb luck. The Bot said I had 63 words to choose from after my second guess. Fun fact: if I’d used my usual opening word, I’d have had three of the letters right out of the gate.

PRIOR → A terminal R is not a bad thing, and I know it’s the only one. E or A for a second vowel? I started thinking about ??OAR and got hung up on A, which is why I tried
SOLAR → rather than something with an E like
BONER → which puts me very firmly into a trap. I was feeling tired when I did this, and should have gone with [CM]O[WV]ER to make those four possibles apparent, but ended up trying
HOVER → which, after I had dispensed with ROVER, flipped a coin between M & C to get
COVER
VOTER,CODER,JOKER,FOYER, and (maybe) DOZER were all still out there, so this could have gotten very bad very fast. In retrospect, the answer was the obvious fourth choice for me, both for the double option I outlined after the third guess and the first two options from the first sentence here. Shot from the hip and was lucky to survive.

COVER → That’s not a bad start. Think I’ll add an A and some WoFcons, but I dont’ see that I can cover two of them, so I’ll try
REACT → which is a really bad choice as I’ve proved twice now that there is no C in today’s answer. Ugh. Time to throw an S in there, and I feel like repeating the E, even though it’s early, so

Don’t have muich to say about today’s answer, other than that Scoredle goes straight to it on the second guess from COVER.
