SLANT
FIGHT
PAINT

After my starting word, I saw AGENT (already used), (F/P/T)AINT, and (D/G/H/V)AUNT (with (J/T)AUNT already used). So very trappy for those in hard mode. Came up with FIGHT as a sleuth word to knock it down to two in either trap line, and liked PAINT better than TAINT. (Congrats in advance to Ellis on his easy 2!)

SCENT → This could be scary-trappish. I’m not going to worry about the possibilities yet; can’t match up both R & L with a vowel, so I’ll try a different less common consonant
PLANT → Good guess with the P! PA?NT, gotta be
PAINT

Scoredle goes straight to the answer on its second guess after my start, which ends up being better than the 5/6 it gets when it starts from its usual start word. Ha, better to be lucky than good today.

SAINT was still out there, so it coulda been worse.

I missed playing yesterday, so my streak is gone. :confused: oh well, what’s done is done.

After WAIST failed, I knew it was FAINT, PAINT, or TAINT; so I had to eliminate (or confirm) T as the first letter. TRAMP filled the bill quite nicely

I don’t care if it was a totally lucky guess out of 19 possibles. I almost went with WAIST but decided I’d learn more by eliminating the P and the N with PAINT. My only surprise was that PAINT wasn’t an already-used word.

First 2 in awhile!
