TEETH

Went with TEETH on 3 because (a) it was the only word I could think of, and (b) at worst, it would limit where my yellow E,H,T were.

Turned out that the only other possibilities were DEPTH and HEFTY, and both had been used. But even if that hadn’t been the case, TEETH would have knocked out one or the other, so worst case was a 4.

LEFTY → Good start. But it seems like there’s a lot that could fit here. A trap? That second to last T invokes a TH ending, so I’ll start there with
DEPTH → That’s good. But now my WoFcon tic is asserting itself again, so I’d really like to try
BERTH → Nope. But if I double up on the T… TEETH? or maybe (another WoFcon)
TENTH → Ah, darn, missed it
TEETH
HEATH was also a strong possibility in the semi-trap, one that I missed completely. I think I would have gotten it if I had struck out on my fourth guess. About half of Scoredle’s possibles after my first guess have a terminal S and are excluded from being answers; Scoredle’s second guess checks all remaining WoFcons and both cuts them out and rules out the word I missed my par with - so Scoredle makes par. Good job by the algorithm, and a reminder that those excluded words can sometimes make for an easier solve later.
