> FRA_I_L → Slow start. Rest of WoFcons plus an E, anyone? STEIN is out due to I placement, so I’ll go with  
> T_IN_ES → Need to do better than that. I think an O is in order, along with a couple more common consonants…  
> CH **IN** _O_ → Hmmm. O?IN? goes nowhere, so it must be ?OIN?, I’m seeing one with a repeat letter now  
> **GOING**  
> DOING, BOINK/BOING (both a bit slangy), and OWING were all possibles, and could have made for a loss. Maybe I should have trusted the B. Scoredle also finishes in four, much more methodically.
