With E gone, I should try an A and… can’t do three, so at least two WoFcons > FA **U** L_T_ β†’ Placed the U, and a T pickup. With S gone, that T is probably not second, so try it in first, and we can try our last two WoFcons with > **TRU** N **K** β†’ Missed it by _that_ much > **TRUCK** > > My third guess was about 12/17, near the end of the valid possibles, so rather lucky that it came together as it did for a tap in for par. Scoredle finishes in three with a tap-in of its own; its second guess was just that good. ---
