One of my guesses when I was missing one letter was the interesting ODEON . I never realized that it was a valid word - I just took a wild guess. My next guess unscrambled the letters for the correct solution. ---

I played around with NEW?? for a while, but got nowhere. Then I thought about EN- prefixes and came up with > **ENDOW** > > Oddly enough, that misfire on my third guess meant that (per Scoredle) I had only one possible guess left for par. I guess it’s not the first time I’ve had a bad play go right, but it may be the most memorable. Scoredle itself finishes with a bogey. Go figure. ---
