Something is weird with my posts. Spoiler tags aren’t working and I can’t preview. Also everything double spaces. I’ll just say that my third guess was for letter placement and I got lucky.

Surprized that my potentially offensive 4th guess was allowed.

You need to talk to me like I’m an idiot. I’m on an iPhone. I tried looking at the threads you mentioned but I didn’t understand. When I am replying to a post I see a blue A in the upper left hand corner. If I click that to the left I see the preview box but everything is in a weird font. So I don’t hijack any more can you point me to the exact thread where I can get step by step instructions that are at my level ie when you are typing a post you will see a bunch of letters at the top such as an A, a B in bold and an I in italic. The A has a slider thing you can move left and the preview screen will pop up.

3591

Yes, that’s the one… If you can see “M+”, then you’ll get the
preview box, and spoilers work etc. You just have to live with
the weird font.
There’s a good German word for it :- Verschlimmbesserung

OMEGA → Slow start, not entirely unexpected. But, I get a great word to use as my first guess second
TRAIN → Not much help. L & S are still out there, I’ll try Y rather than U for another vowel, and get
PALSY → Two places where A can be, three for S. There’s one word that is almost certainly place the S, and must place the A, so
ASSAY
ASWAY was also possible. By employing its double-up strategy (which I’m thinking is likely an emergent thing) Scoredle finishes with a solid birdie. Also, not liking this new edit box for my posts.

A double-double! Haven’t had one of those in a while.

This one is proof that eliminating letters is just as important as finding them, if not more. A was the last vowel I brought in, and I might not have thought of doubling it had I hit one earlier.
