BARON was a lucky guess, resulting in the placed B. There were only two other words - BUNCH and BUNNY - and they had been used.

> MO **U** _T_H → Not a bad start. For some reason, I decided to try to use up vowels next, so I went with  
> E_T_ **U** IS → Then, with A & Y still available, I decided ??U?Y went nowhere, so I went with a single WoFcon word  
> FA **U** _L_ **T** → Found it, and placed the T, and it looks like there are no other vowels, so I’m trying consonants and saw one that used a WoFcon  
> **BLU** R **T** → but it used the _wrong_ WoFcon  
> **BLUNT**

> It turns out my fourth guess was a coin flip, and I got it wrong. Scoredle has a similar fourth-guess coin flip, and also gets it wrong, so I guess my bogey-misery has company.
