I came up with seven words, but Rowan and Narco aren’t Wardle words.
Rayon, Apron, Manor, Ranch were already used, leaving only Baron.
Scordle shows me I overlooked Acorn (which was already used anyway).

CLINK → Kinda slow. Out of the 3 remaining WoFcons, I can try two, plus an A and go with
SNARE → Got a lot of shuffling around to do. Still want to try a T, and another vowel… maybe Y?
RANTY → Let me add in an O, which would pretty much have to be 4th or last. I think the N goes at the end, which puts the R in the middle and O after it, and then I pretty much have to trust the B
BARON

Pretty much a tap-in, once you separate out the eight bogus possibles remaining. Of course, the fact that with my third guess I went with a bogus word at 41/46 rather than the Scordle-recommended actual solution has to count against me - chalk it up to my WoFcon obsession, Scoredle’s second guess is an anagram of mine, but better, as it is left with 10 possibles, only two valid ones, and it sinks the 50-50 for a birdie.

I thought this was a tap-in, but it was actually a 50/50, as I’d missed APRON. I’ll take it!
