NERVY → Whiff. Oddly enough, I can cover O, A and the last three WoFcons with
LOAST → which I never knew was a word. OK, if that AL goes on the end, I can try
FOCAL → Placed, but not much help there. Looks a bit trappish, but what comes immediate to mind is
MODAL
POLKA and DOULA were still alive for my third guess - either would have been tough. Scoredle hits a 50/50 putt for par.

Really thought I’d saved par; I looked and looked, and convinced myself that LOYAL was the only possible answer. Nope, there were two.

LORIS
Yes, I meant to type BROIL for my second guess. No, I have never heard the words BROOL or LORIS but I will take the birdie anyway.

LORIS
I think of myself as pretty well-read, but I was today days old when I found that ‘loris’ is a word. And I needed to go through all the words beginning with LO in my dead-trees dictionary to discover it. Dafuq, Wordle?!

The slow loris is a cool animal to watch at the zoo, as it moves very slowly.
I had to throw in the towel on this one.
Not a common word by any means.
(as defined by “I have never heard of it”…laugh if you must)
Definitely on the same thumbs-down list as PINEY.

Uh, I was just slapping letters out there on the third guess and have never heard the word.

LORIS
To be honest, I got a hint from Threads that today’s puzzle would cause a lot of discussion. So I picked a hard word. Because of the L, there were only a few to choose from, though.

@Frodo - FYI, plurals are never a Wordle solution.
Thanks!, I wish I’d known that before

MODAL → Not a bad start. I can check E and two more WoFcons with
LONER → Move the R to middle, can I get a word with T or S? There’s one with S, and the I
LORIS
It’s an animal, but I knew the word from a denial-of-service attack on webservers. Shockingly, Scoredle misses this entirely, with a 3-4 trap that it fails to fill until it gets both letters out of order on the very last guess.

LORIS
I spent A LOT of time on that third guess. Like others who have already posted, I had no idea loris was a word and had to look it up before I played it.
Wordlebot says POLIS was also a valid guess, but I never would have thought of that as an actual word either.
Also, WordleBot cheats. It always uses CRANE as its first guess, except today when it used SLATE which just happened to give it the S and L which allowed it to get it in 3. No way it would have gotten it in 3 if it started with CRANE.
