BLISS → Good start, despite the wasted S. Try an E with two WoFcons
LINER → Good grief, I?LER must be
IDLER
Quick one - a lucky guess for me, though simply part of my usual pattern. Scoredle takes an interesting path to par, doesn’t get the second vowel until that last guess.

YEAST (Look for vowels.)
LOUIE (Happy to get the L.)
WIELD (Seemed like a good idea at the time. Plus, I can only see one possibility.)
IDLER (Good enough for par.)
God dammit, Wordlebot! Don’t congratulate me on getting the only possible word! It’s patronizing! Especially on a puzzle that you bogeyed on!

IDLER
Nobody’s taking issue with IDLER being a word that nobody ever uses? I got it in three but I stared at it a long time because the only possibilities I could see for my third guess were RILED, RULED, and IDLER. The first two are out because they’re past tense verbs formed by adding ‘D’, which are never the answer. That left the other one, which I thought to be too obscure to be an answer. I kept looking for something else but finally relented and was happy to be proven wrong.

I often work with mechanical parts, and IDLER jumped right out at me (albeit as the only possible solution at four 
). I guess we all have different words we consider obscure.

ADEPT
I moaned about the next word on my start list having three repeat letters from yesterday. But lo and behold, the D comes up again, and I hit the leading A! I was more lucky than ADEPT today.

HEART
BLEAT (heartbleat, why do you miss when my baby kisses me…)
ADEPT
It’s a word I’ve known since childhood, though it doesn’t get used much nowadays.
On the whole my attitude is, this is still largely Josh Wardle’s word list, regardless of what modifications the NYT has made, and we’ve had nearly four years’ worth of words to give us an idea of what sorts of words he thinks are acceptable solutions. Neologisms like INBOX (I still think of it as two words, but I’m old 
) or prefixes like TURBO may annoy me, for instance, but they shouldn’t surprise me by now.
