Now I need vowels, and WoFcons, but I can’t find a word with two of both along with that middle R. So, > P_E_ **R** IL β†’ Is it THREE? or should I try for something with a U? Can’t see anything with U?R(E?|?E), or an -RUE ending, but I can try two WoFcons with > **NURSE** > > There were at least eight - probably more - nonbogus possibles after my second guess, so I’m putting that one up to luck. Scoredle finishes with a birdie on a 1-in-3 shot, so I guess it was a bit more skillful. ---
