I play and post the puzzle from my phone, then type in the spoilered words and my comments on my laptop. I got timed out! Damn work stuff. Arrgh. Anyway…

ELBOW - I messed up with the E in the first spot

Should have been a four.

GUPPY → Not unexpected.
RAISE → Really need to check that O…
TOWED → A hit. And a W, also… Move the E near the front, end in -OW, what do I get?
BELOW

Could have also been ELBOW, as several folks have tried.

ANGER

Had to work for this one. Should probably have guessed ANGER at four. After four I had ANGER, AUGER, and ADDER and went through all the letters and couldn’t find anything else. ANGER was the most likely and also would distinguish between the other two.

866

A lucky guess for a 3; my chances were 1/3.

Nice and quick, and I think narrowed down to a single possibility after 2. (But it never is when I say something like that.)

BELOW → Not a great start. Need more vowel coverage as well.
RAISE → Nice pickups. Haven’t tried T yet…
TREAD → No help there. Perhaps an -ER ending? But then A would have to go first… and I haven’t tried N or M yet, so…
ANGER

Pretty quick sequence.

CANOE
LEANT
SNEAK
ANGER

In retrospect, ANGER might have been a better guess at three - though Scordle actually agreed with me on SNEAK. I’ve had lots of fives lately, so I’ll take the par.
