> LE **A** N_S_ → So that’s nice. With A in the middle, we might be out of vowels, so I’ll lean on the consonants including the R  
> **SPA** RK → Nice pickup on the P, and everything placed, though it looks somewhat trappish. I do spot one word that exercises a vowel, so  
> **SPA** CY → Nope. Running out of good consonants. Perhaps there’s a duplicate in there?

> Scoredle liked my third guess, and recommended the solution as my par guess. Naturally, I didn’t do that and took the bogey. On its own, Scoredle buries a long putt for birdie.
