I guess today was my day to pick a new start word. PAYER is still out there.

Second word paid dividends after the whiff.
I don’t consult the used word list, but I somehow remembered that RELAX was already an answer. Other options were REGAL and FERAL, but I went with the one I saw first and got lucky.

SPASM → Slow start. E and three WoFcons, I think… and I hope this has plenty of those WoFcons
LATER → Pretty good luck, there. If I swap the known letters to try and place them, along with the last WoFcon, I get
RENAL → RELA?, looks like
RELAY
My picks are each pretty close to what Scoredle picks at each stage. But, on its own picks, it finishes with a birdie. Go figure.

My 2nd & 3rd guesses were exactly the same as psychobunny’s 3rd & 4th.
But my first guess was, as usual, STARE. A bad choice if the secret were chosen by a
canny opponent, but I think NYTimes is just randomly choosing common words.
Isn’t xxAxE a common pattern?
I lost a point recently by guessing RELAX before RELAY.
This NY Times puzzle is the only example I know where deadlines or windows depend on user’s time-zone rather than being applied globally.

That’s always struck me as weird. But I took advantage of that once to play a Wordle that I’d theoretically missed. I was up in the hour after midnight (I’m on US East Coast time) and getting ready to play the new day’s Wordle when I realized I hadn’t played the previous day’s, which would have of course killed my win streak. Fortunately, I realized that before I opened up Wordle on my phone, so I first changed the time zone on my phone to California time, where it wasn’t even 10pm the previous day yet. So I played the previous day’s Wordle on California time, keeping my streak alive, closed Wordle, and changed back to Eastern time. Waited until morning to play the new day’s Wordle, just to spread out the fun.

Indulging my WoFcon obsession paid off today - it got me the answer with a birdie from among ten nonbogus words. Scoredle slips an extra guess in there before going to my second, so ends in a par.
