SO close to a deuce. I thought NYT might avoid the possible drug reference, so I went with the P.

JOINT (The only plausible one, really.)
Drug reference? Oh, I get it. See, my knee has been bugging me for a few days, so I see it as an arthritis reference.

Not an easy one. Went looking for vowels and only found the O. Couldn’t find a word with 2 Os but suspected MOMMY, POPPY or BOBBY. Went for a sleuth word to also check the Y then went for the triple letter.

JOINT → OK, well, at least it’s placed. E and three remaining WoFcons to make
LOSER → Time to start looking at lower-frequency consonants. Oh, and an A…
POACH → Still nothing? Hmm. I’d like to try both U & Y here but don’t see anything that would permit it. If there’s a Y… at the end… Oh, boy. BOGGY/FOGGY/DOGGY, DODGY, MOMMY, MOODY, GOOFY… I need some sleuth action stat. I played around with a few letters and tried
WODGY → which was somehow a word. It pretty much told me I have to try
MOMMY
I feel like today might be a bloodbath. Scoredle loses from my start! In the end, I’m happy with a tough 5.

What hurts is that MOMMY flew under my radar the whole way. If I’d spotted it earlier, M would likely have been in my first sleuth word and I’d have scored a par.
