> _H_ABIT → Thought that was going to go somewhere for a second. OK, it’s not TH, could be CH or SH, I’ll go with the second to check the WoFcon but also kinda try the first, then an unused vowel and another WoFcon gives us  
> C_R_ **U** S **H** → and that’s pretty cool. Gotta be R?U?H, which leaves me  
> **ROUGH**

> A very lucky approach shot makes for a birdie tap-in. Scoredle also scores the birdie, getting the answer out of three possibles.
