Had to think a bit about my good first word second, so > TR **U** ES β†’ L is still out there. Add an… A or O? O tends to match up better in front of a middle U, so I’ll try that and fill in with other consonants > C **OU** L_D_ β†’ Nice pickup on the D. GOUDA? Only word I can think of with D in fourth, but I’d prefer to try > **DOUGH** > > For all my criticism of that start, it wasn’t too bad in the end. Scoredle has what I would consider a superior second guess, but has less luck with the third and ends up having to sink a 50-50 for par. ---
