As always, a bit of luck involved in this 2, I had maybe 10 unused possibilities and another dozen or so used ones, and LANCE would guarantee a 3 if the solution hadn’t previously been used (which is still the way to bet these days, as since CIGAR and before today, there had only been 2 re-used solutions) and would give me a good shot if it had.

I think he’s hitting the reply button on the last post in the thread instead of the reply at the bottom of the thread. So it looks like he’s replying to you but he’s really not. It’s happened to me a couple of times recently too.

So close to an eagle. There were two valid words after my first guess, and I guessed wrong

SHRED → I’d like to place that E, and that means a double-up. Bonus - I can get two WoFcons and a extra vowel out of it with
TEENY → So now I figure terminal E, and that N goes in there somewhere, and I’d like to try an L, but for some reason I get hung up on using O instead of an A and try
LONGE → Which is just absurd, because when I see this I wonder why I missed the birdie
LANCE

Pretty bad play on that third guess - 27/81 per Scoredle, but there were three better words above it, all valid, that would have been better guesses and fulfilled the criteria I (should have?) sought. Scoredle also gets a par, with similar though better, on the whole, plays than I made.

My bad. I would have used conditional perfect tense correctly, but an incomplete edit sank me.

Poorly played. I didn’t really think it through and had to use an anagram finder on five to rule out my most likely two choices and leave room for me missing something.
