Scoredle doesn’t seem to do the same thing for everyone. For me, it always uses SLATE as its starting word. And in this case, it showed me that it got a 3 with SCION being its second guess.
Oh, Scoredle does use SLATE to start.
What I do, to compare myself to Scoredle, is start it off with my daily start word (the solution from the previous day), then pick each of its recommendations at each next step. It’s interesting to see the algorithm go to work in situations that are less than optimal.
OK, that makes sense! I’d been noticing for awhile that Scoredle seemed to be doing different things with you than with me. Now I know why!

I was seeing 8 words, and so I went with SPAWN as a sleuth to sort it all out, which thankfully told me exactly what it was.

SWOON → A single, and sole, placed O is not bad. Two WoFcons down, also… I can’t knock out R, L & T all with this next guess, but I can cover two along with an A
CAROL → I did not expect the C.???OC, nada, ?C?O? same, so must be ??CO?, adding a T goes nowhere but ?ECO? means I could try
DECOY
TAROT is Scoredle’s second guess, and it gives enough information to go to the solution in 3, just like I did. Seems like the word should be harder than this, though - no WoFcons for early guessing.
