I’m looking at non-WoFcons, mostly, so I’ll try a word with a terminal Y > B **E** _ND_Y β†’ Missed on the vowel, but picked up a letter and placed another. If I add an O in 4th, put D at the start and N must go last, it looks like > **DEMON** > > I got lucky with my third guess - 54/75, but it left a single valid word (out of 4) for a tap-in par. The solution was 24/75 from that guess, so not a shoo-in playing by Scoredle’s algorithm. That algorithm had a great followup, and the solution was 2/28 for the third guess, leaving a tap-in (1 valid out of 6) for the par. ---
