FOAMY - How stupid of me; lost track of the ‘R’

It can be difficult to see through the Smaug. 
Re WoFcons, I’ve been using SLANT as my starting word for most of the time I’ve been playing the game. Knocks out 4 of the 5 WoFcons right off the bat.
I think short and alien are great starting words

More explicitly, they’re the five consonants Pat Sajak gives Round Two prize winners as freebies as they try to win the BIG SPIN (R S T L N E, remember?).
ETA: BTW, I wonder why H and D were both passed over in favor of L. ETAOIN SHRDLU doesn’t even include L in the top six consonants..

BOARD → Kinda slow to start. I tried hunting around for a word with the A, an E, and three WoFcons, and should have tried STEAL but first saw (and tried)
STEAN → and Wordle accepted it (huh!) so I still had an L out there, and wanted to try another vowel, and Y kinda fell into place with
TALKY → which was great, but left me with a 50/50 for par, so I flipped the coin and with with Fs instead of Ts and got

Scoredle does rather less well with its endgame - with three nonbogus possiblies for its fourth guess, it goes the distance and ends up with a six. If I taken the better option for my second guess, it probably wouldn’t have changed much, but I would be less embarrassed by it.

Poorly played. I was getting so frustrated by all the blank squares that I didn’t realize I’d left N, S, and T on the table all the way up to guess four. I probably should have brought the Y in earlier as well, I suppose. There was also TABBY, so a six was possible, though a fail was not.
