Could have been CODER, I suppose; COVER, COWER, and CREDO had already been used.
Much more legit than the infamous PARER. I have an apple corer in my kitchen drawer, and that’s what people call it. I have a paring knife as well, and that’s what people call it; other than Wordle #454, I’ve never heard it called a parer.
Sorry about your streak, psychobunny.

Well, shit.
Seems like we’ve seen this trap way too often. I could have played it better, I suppose, but my luck was terrible. I was tempted to go to the word list, which likely would have saved me, but sadly decided not to.
New streak begins tomorrow!
I don’t think I’ve ever seen Wordlebot lose, but it lost today. And as of now, so have over 40% of players. I got lucky.

ORATE
ROWER
CORER
After I knew the last four letters, it took me longer figuring out what the first letter was supposed to be. Borer was my other option, but I remembered the stupid PARER and sure enough, another food tool.
Wow, Wordlebot even lost?? Dayum.
When I was working it, I had no idea this would be such a toughie for people. Having my used words spreadsheet made a nontrivial difference - I think I’d had a 5 without it. I’d have probably done the CO(v/w/r/d)ER group in that order, and gone with CREDO on 4 only if my first stab at that group showed that none of that group were the solution. But with the list, a 4 was worst case.

Another one bites the dust.
GAMUT → Whiff. Good first word second, perhaps?
LIENS → Not much. Gotta be an O in there - or two Es? Try the former. R is still out there. What have I got?
ROVED → Both vowels placed - nice! R to the back and what else for the next two consonants?
COWER → Uh oh. Am I safe? Think I’m safe. I see two other words, try them on for size
COYER → Nope. Oh, no, is this another PARER? I flip a coin and stay the course…
COPER
Scoredle gets it in 3 from my start, 6 from SLATE. So, on the word that vanquished me, Scoredle did massively better from my start word than from its own. Not my finest hour.

Very lucky today with my 3rd guess, even though the Bot rated me at 59/99 for skill and 48/99 for luck.
Unlike other players here, I consult the used word list and was stumped when I saw that COVER and COWER had been used already. I was thinking that finally they’d started reusing words and then saw the answer, which reminded me of the infamous PARER
And condolences @psychobunny, that was almost a 2-year streak.

I thought to myself “this was a tough one” but then I opened the thread to see it was more than a tough one, it was a bloodbath. Happy to escape this word with my streak intact.

Despite yesterday’s sneakiness (which I snuck in for a six), I’m finding it getting easier.
I was maintaining around 10% twos, I’ve now got 75/698 or a 52 game buffer.
So either I’m having a purple patch or the lessening number of unused words is starting to take effect.

CHANT, GIANT, and MEANT had already been used, and I doubt that QUANT will be a solution.
My sixth 2 in the past 3 weeks. Obviously a lot of luck involved (particularly with solutions matching up well with my starting word), but I’ll take it!
I’ve got 60 2s in 993 games, so you’re way ahead of me there. And as one who maintains a used words list, I find it often makes the difference between a 3 and a 4, and in the past few weeks it’s definitely been a factor in most of these 2s, including today’s.
