TITLE → I’ll assume these are my two vowels until I see something that says otherwise. Plus, I can finish off the WoFcons with
RISEN → NIRE? or ?INER, the second becomes a trap but seems like the only way to go
DINER → Not that one. Perhaps
MINER
FINER/NINER are two more possibles, meaning I was safe unless one of the bogus trap words came up - but I think they are not valid solutions. Scoredle falls in to the trap with its second guess and also ends up with a par.

Layer has already been used, and the only other possibilities I saw were lamer and laker. I don’t even think laker is in the answer list so I won the coin flip.

MINER → Hmmm. Looks like a trap in the making. Two WoFcons and an A? Sure.
LASER → It is a trap in the making. T, Y, G, then what? K, D, C, even X? I’ll focus on the first three, starting with the WoFcon
LATER → Nope. Alpha order? Sure.
LAGER
V and W might also fit into the trap, sez Scoredle. I would consider most of those to be bogus, and I think Scoredle (which also finishes in four) agrees.

Guessed wrong for birdie.
I would have gotten it if I were a previous-answer-list checker. Oh well.
I thought LACER, LAKER, and LAVER to be unlikely, and LAMER and LAXER not valid answers, so I figured I had the par well in hand without sleuthing it out.

READY (got to be a trap in there. Let’s start with the first word I thought of)
WAVER (no joy. Consonant hunt!)
BATCH (Huh. would have thought I’d catch one)
SLUMP (Hello there Mr. L! Let’s see, LAGER, LAKER or LAXER)
KUGEL (And there’s my G!)
LAGER (Fuck you, Wordlebot. Keep your Phew. LAKER and LAXER are real words, and I eliminated them systematically.)

9455

Why not? They’re both real words. Had I put LAXER as a guess, would the system have refused it and not charged me with a guess?

9456

For the same reason -S plurals and -ED past tense verbs are not used, I don’t think comparative adjectives formed by adding -ER are on the table. Of course you could use one as a guess, but I don’t think we’ve ever had such a word as an answer. Have we?

9457

I don’t think this is a thing. Going through the previous answers list I’m seeing fewer, finer, older, riper and ruder. Also lower, but that could sneak by such a rule as a verb.
