I’ll do my usual add-a-vowel-and-however-many-WoFcons-I-can routine, which gives me a bogus word but what the heck > S_T_A_NE_ β†’ No help there! R & L are still out there, but they pair badly with T & N. I can look for another vowel out of U, I and Y, which lead me to see > **ENTRY** > > My followup was a pretty-bad 79/93, but since the solution was 85/93, it made for a pretty good guess. On the birdie try, there were three valid words out of 14, but trying any of them them would have yielded a par, as long as the bogus words could be avoided. Scoredle takes a tough path and has four (or maybe 5?) valid words to chose from for its third guess; it misses the birdie but taps in the par. ---
