> _HAS_TY → Three letter carryover, one the H. Nice. Probably group the SH together, but where? SHARD? or the end, SLASH? Better try another vowel just in case  
> **SH** _A_RE → A is probably not at the end, so 4th. SHRA? and SHLA go nowhere, so a vowel in there - probably an O. SHOAH would seem unlikely, but the WoFcon fits  
> **SHOAL**
> 
> There were only 116 possibles after my carryover guess, and my second guess was Scoredle’s second-best recommendation. Scoredle’s top recommendation left it with a complete tap-in; my birdie relied on guessing between six possibles, four of which were thoroghly bogus, and the fifth rather obscure (and possibly invalid for an answer).
