Could’ve also been SCOOP or SMOCK. Wanted to choose one of the SCO words to narrow it down to just one alternative if I guessed wrong, and the solution just felt right to me.

Could’ve been 3, but no, a 5. :slightly_frowning_face:

Not a bad outcome for such a terrible start. I’ll take it.

I didn’t, but I’d still like to know if it’s being honest. For me, the bot said its guesses were

CRANE
SPOIL
SCOUT
SCOFF

Is that consistent with what the bot told you?

CRUSH → A C. Man, what to do with a C? And what vowel(s) to try? Too many possibles. I mean, ASCOT was in play here. (Probably should have tried it). But I went with an A, a WoFcon, and another letter that fit with the C to get
SNACK → (Should have tried SCARE here instead). So now it’s definitely time to check two vowels, to which I add a less-common consonant and try
SCOPE → which looks really trappish. I’m frowning right now, so I decided to try
SCOWL → which went nowhere, Took a break here and came back to it and immediately saw one with a repeat letter, so took a deep breath and tried
SCOTS → then, trying desperately to save my streak, cast around for any and all unused letters that could fit, and fortunately landed on
SCOFF

Well, that was a near-disaster, though even Scoredle has a tough time with it, finishing in 6 from CRUSH and 5 from its normal start word, SLATE.

I was really feeling that double O for some reason. At least knowing it’s not a double O, as well as landing the C, kept this from being a total disaster, which it very well might have been.

CANON

Horrible trap! I did my usual random guessing up to three then forced myself to check all of the possibilities. I came up wit CAPON and BACON. I was pretty sure that BACON was already an answer but CAPON seemed unlikely so ZI went for BACON and was reassured when I realized it was CAPON except it wasn’t. I found CANON and just hoped I didn’t miss any other answers.

Lost the coin toss between Scoff and Scoop…I saw Smock too, but going with one of the SC words would tell me what it was.
