Looks like it’s a 4 sort of day.

Is that excluding duplicates? Grand, Frank and Crank immediately came to mind as possibilities and there may be others.

BRAND → Man, another whiff. OK, O, E and the last three WoFcons make
STOLE → I, U and Y (or a second E) are left of vowels. I see a word that exercises the I
WHILE → And that leads to one that uses the U
GUILE → And here I was stumped for a while. I came to the conclusion one of the letters I had already had to be duplicated, so I thought about I?ILE and ?LILE and ?EILE until I got to E?ILE
EXILE

On my third guess, Scoredle helpfully points out that I should try GUILE, an advantage it squanders by thereafter going straight to WHILE. On its own, it takes a bogey - both of ours are single-possible tap-ins for the win.

Yeah, I meant ‘left’ after what’s already been used, like the ones you’ve mentioned and several others, including GUANO and INANE.

EXILE → One and only one E, at the end. That’s fairly useful. Now to try the A and some WoFcons
STARE → No help, save for the eliminations. I’d like to try the N, and both O and U, and I can’t see a word that does both. So… I’ll go with the vowels
VOGUE → G is a nice pickup! Thought about ??OGE possibilities, but went nowhere; but looks lke the O has to be in the middle, which means G at the start? Then I thought about how to use the N and it came to me
GNOME

Scoredle says there were two other possibles for my fourth guess, and worse yet I should have tried one of the other ones! If I had used an N instead of an R for my second guess, I had a good 50/50 shot at a birdie, alas. Scoredle on its own takes a different path to par.
