GHOST → Whiff. Three WoFcons left, match 'em up with E and A and you get
LEARN → Which is pretty good, but I think there’s another vowel in there.. try an I
CLAIM → Very good, and the L must go at the end… do I have two A?
AVAIL → Nope. But… ah, it looks like there’s a U
QUAIL

Scoredle also finishes with a bogey, while not getting a letter placed until the fourth guess (the initial letter!) In the event, I had a 50/50 for par, but missed (it should be noted that Scoredle makes that par guess correctly).

I was upset with myself for forgetting about the L on my second guess. But REACH actually did a great job of eliminating most of the remaining words. An unexpected path to birdie.
