Any other words it could be? I’m not seeing any. I’m sure we’ve had at least some of these before but I don’t remember which. Well, I’ve got three shots at it > M **ATCH** β†’ Missed the first, but verified the trap. > **PATCH** > > That was a close one. Scoredle finishes in four, with a well-timed guess for its second that closes off the trap nicely. ---
