> G_RO_ **A** N → It’s not a bad first guess word, and it did the job today. I saw a potential 3-trap (MOLAR, POLAR, SOLAR) and tried to get ahead of it  
> P **O** _L_ **A** _R_ → But should have chosen the M-word because otherwise I might have guessed right on the next guess  
> M **ORAL** → Instead of grabbing for the M like I did. Oh well.  
> **CORAL**  
> MORAL-CORAL club is where all the cool kids hang out today, I see. Scoredle makes that correct guess on two and has an easy putt for the birdie.
