I can try a good first guess second by adding an E and two WoFcons > **LAS** ER β†’ I was stumped by this for a while. Found out LASIK isn’t a valid Wordle word. Thought about LASSY for a while but really didn’t want to try the variant. Then I gave up and read the thread about a fourth season of Ted > **LASSO** > > Scoredle also gets the birdie. I probably should have figured this out faster than I did but the synchronicity was just too good. So that worked out rather well. ---
