Could be a good name for a cover band that plays β€œEight Miles High” sandwiched between β€œSurrender” and β€œThe Dream Police.” Scoredle gets a birdie by trying for a terminal vowel instead. There are three nonbogus words after that first guess, and any of them would leave you with a tap-in birdie, so I was definitely playing from the duffer’s tees this morning. ---
