I’ll pair it up with A & E and two WoFcons… now should I use L-R or L-T, or maybe S-T? The middle, I suppose > _C_L_EA_T β†’ Just the vowels hit. Time for that S now! Still haven’t located anything, but doubling up is hard with three letters known. ???ACE looks promising, but is it a trap? > SP **AC** _E_ β†’ No. R is still out there. ERAC?, or REAC?, with T gone the latter leads to > **REACH** > BEACH was another possibility; combined with the answer, it invokes my favorite Fixx album. With its third guess, Scoredle hits the first-letter trap, and goes the distance to - finally - get the answer, though Cary Grant might have been offended by the guess it left for last. ---
