⬜⬜🟩⬜⬜ BREAD  
🟩⬜🟩🟩⬜ GUEST  
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 GEESE (I doubted a lot before trying it because it’s plural (and I think worlde avoids plurals, but it seems like it’s only regular “S-Ending” plurals) and because all the repeated "E"s, but in the end I couldn’t find another word with those contraints)

> There were two nonbogus words left after three, and I missed the coin toss. Scoredle with a very nice par - even better than its usual opener, which gets it a bogey.
