R is left of the WoFcons. Don’t see a word with both O and I, so I’ll try one with an O and see what that gets me > F_R_OCK β†’ OK, it’s an I. At least one I. Can’t see a word with just one I in it, so perhaps two Is. RI?I?, ah, could be > **RIGID** > > Chip in to save par. Scordle ends up bogeying due to preferring BIDRI over the answer on the fourth guess. What’s up with that? I guess it was better at differentiating between the other two valid possibles? ---
