HOIST - Wow! The go-to word finally pays off big.
FOIST - The dim recesses of my mind tell me that “moist” was used at some point. So that leaves “joist” or . . .

UNDID → Slow start. I think… E and three WoFcons is my best play here
TILER → Got the T, at least. Try an S… and two more consonants, I feel a little behind on them at the moment
STICK → At least the I is placed. Move ST to the end, add an.. A or O? I see a better word with an O
HOIST → Uh oh, looks like a trap.
JOIST → One shot left.
MOIST

I’ve even used that word before - why didn’t I think of it? I had a niggling thought that my last try had already been used, which is why I left it to the end - I could have stopped to think again there, but nooooo. Scoredle takes one of the trap words out with its third guess, so finds the solution in six. Ooof.

Actually proud of myself for being systematic. Was going along with just trying to fit in vowels and NERVY was going to be guess five but I sat back, looked at everything, saw PERKY and JERKY and tried a sleuth word( didn’t think PERVY was a valid option). I may have missed something but I think I avoided a possible fail.
