FROWN → I like a WR start. Throw in a T & E, and… WREST? or WRITE? WRACK? Don’t see anything with WRU??, so I"ll try
WRITE → Nice. It’s got one too many Cs for around here, but I"ll try
WRECK → Ah, the homophone.
WREAK

And Scoredle follows the exact same pattern. I do kinda like it when my choices are validated by the algorithm.

Bah. A good start, only to fall deeply into the trap. The terminal K escaped my notice at first, but I’m not sure if it would have made much difference.

READY (That’s a lot of yellow squares. Let’s place the A)
ARENA (Ooh, I placed all three letters! WREAK, FREAK, CREAM. I’ll sacrifice a chance at a birdie for a guaranteed par)
COMFY (Which eliminates FREAK and CREAM.)

Could’ve also been SONAR or possibly SANER; SNEAK and SEDAN had already been used.

WREAK → Slow start. I would normally want to go O here with three WoFcons, but the I really asserted itself, so
STAIN → I thought about how to make this one work, since SANO? goes nowhere, so the O is pretty much out. Then one word occurred to me which did the Scoredle repeat-letter trick, so I tried
SAUNA → which meant I had SAN?? with no vowels left but the Y, so a moment staring at the board led to
SANDY

It was nice to have a short one to start today as it promises to be busy. Scoredle employs its repeat-letter trick not once but twice; it actually has a trap of four letters after its fouth guess and makes a 1-in-4 guess to finish with a bogey. (Naturally, it does a lot better from its own start.)
