This time, the WoFcon is an R, and the vowel is an I, so > **A** _S_ **T** I_R_ β†’ I know where the S goes, and hence the R, and hence > **ARTSY** > > A par, but a fast one, once I figured the second guess. Scoredle gets it in three, and picks the answer over my third guess, which was in its list of possibles, so I’ll call that some luck on the algorithm’s part. ---
