> Scoredle really didn’t like my third guess vowel completism - 30/33, and it keeps the same recommended word around for the fourth guess. Perhaps less than skillful, in retrospect, but at least it didn’t cost me the puzzle. On its own, Scoredle passes up on my third guess digression, and then goes the right way on the 50-50 I missed, making par.
