No vowels yet, though; try A & I and a couple more WoFcons > S **N** A **I** L → Pretty much has to be a leading U. R & T are still out there, I can’t find a word that covers both, so > **UN** R **I** P → Not that one > **UN** F **I** T → Nor that one. Would like to try two different consonants here in the hope of getting at least one… UNBID?

Scoredle tries a word that checks all three remaining principal vowels for its second guess, then homes right in on the solution for a birdie. Good work by the algorithm. ---
