BORNE → That’s a pretty slow start. I almost went with RAILS next, which in retrospect would have been bad, so I’m glad I settled on
TRAIL → With the A placed middle, I couldn’t see many places for U or Y, so I started thinking about a second A, which would have to be start or end, and with R & L in play I came up with
ALARM

Back under par, for the first time in a while. Scoredle also gets a three, picking the right answer out of 11 distinct nonbogus possibles. On my third guess, the answer was the only nonbogus, with nine other “words you would only see in Wordle”.

After 3, the hard part was finding any word that could work. After quite a while of banging my head against this one, I finally found FOLIO, checked that it hadn’t been used, and plugged it in. Turns out that IGLOO was the only other word that fit, and it had been used already.
