Scoredle hits on its third guess, though, so it takes honors for today on about 1 in 10 odds. ---

So I started to try A & O with an assortment of WoFcons and I struck gold with > **P** O_RA_L β†’ which I guess has something to do with pores, but that RA sequence looks really good up against the P and I filled in some more from there > **PRANK** > PRAWN was another possibility, but I think we’ve already had it.
