If M is in front, A & E second and fourth, add the last WoFcon (N) and try MANE? or perhaps MA?EN - ooh, I like that last > **MAVEN** > > Last guess was a valid tap-in - Scoredle shows four possibles, the other three bogus. My followup was 93/217, third was 21/27 but it did the trick. Scoredle gets a true tap-in for its par. ---
