TREND
PLEAD
Seven words occurred to me after the Double-Green:
The Wield/Field/Yield trio and Bleed, Ahead all of which were Already-used.
I was left with only Speed and Plead (What words did I miss?)

I guess I’ll continue with my new Trend for a while.

DOUGH → Slow start, but getting the D is nice… A, E and two WoFcons, perhaps?
LADEN → Well. I had trouble seeing any words from here (I didn’t think to move all the letters over and try BLADE/CLADE) until I put D at the end at which point I saw
PLEAD

There were three nonbogus words left, plus another that probably isn’t common enough, so this was a bit lucky for yours truly. Scoredle picks a different pair of WoFcons for its second go, and ends up with a different set three solutions, but ends up with a 1-in-3 lucky birdie just like me.

I burned enough letters to not get trapped by the LEA in the middle. BLEAK would have forced me to a bogey, but no chance of a fail.

BOWEL
HOVEL
I don’t know whether to blame this Bogey on my Trendy new start;
then Scalping out 4 vowels (O,I,U,Y) unasked; or just my inability to think of words.
After Scalp I thought of 12 words (or 13 if the pretty girl I ogle
is an Oglee) 9 of these were already used and Levee isn’t a Wardle word.
Vowel was used a few days ago so I didn’t like Bowel. But it was poor tactic
to waste a turn on TRIPLE-E. Then, only after the miss on Bowel did I hunt
for overlooked words: Yokel (not a Wardle word) and Hovel.
