Knew it wasn’t INEPT but I needed to shake up my brain.

As ever, I was just letter-testing. I nearly went with SHOUT, but I prefer to grab one letter from both the SH and CH combination if possible (SC). Worked out well today.

With SHOUT, SPOUT, SCOUT, and STOUT on the table, a sleuth word seemed in order.
SCOUT would have been at least third on my list, so I did the right thing.
