HENRY  
HAVEN

I thought HENRY was an odd choice from the random word generator today, but Wordle accepted it, and good thing! The only possible follow-up was the solution.

I’ve been busy the past week and not posting much, but I’ve had quite a string of bogeys and pars going. Nice to score an eagle for a change, even if it was pure luck.

> GROSS → Whiff. Three remaining WoFcons plus A & E means  
> L_EAN_T → Three letters found, none placed. Sheesh. I see one word that probably isn’t it, but it’s a starting point - try to place the N  
> _AN_N **E** X → Placed the E, at least. Only two spots left for the N.  
> W **A** K **EN** → There it is. Two guesses left to avoid a loss, but not many consonants left to try. I go with the first thing I see  
> M **AVEN** → Whew. Should have thought about it a bit to try a more common word  
> **HAVEN**

> I had a tough time with this one. I think my fifth guess is not a solution, Scoredle passes on it in favor of the real solution. Scoredle itself gets an easy par - placing the two vowels with its second guess makes the rest easy, and the putt is a tap-in.
