And now it looks like a trap. ROO?Y looks like nothing, so time to work my way through consonants > **RO** CK **Y** β†’ Not those. > **ROWDY** > > Scoredle lists four words on the pattern I rejected after three, but I claim they are all bogus words. Scoredle itself finishes with a birdie and a smug look on its face. I am at least in good company after three, as Scoredle’s recommendations matched my guesses from then on. ---
