A stroke of luck hitting two uncommon consonants off the bat — and then I made a dumb mistake at two.
Still managed to pull off the birdie somehow.

THEFT → That’s a pretty good start. I can try a couple WoFcons and an A with
SHEAR → And that’s looking like a trap. At least SHEER is also out. With an L, I can try SHELL or
SHEOL → and I see a word with an I, so
SHEIK → Oh, boy, I’ve been resisting doubling up so far but I’d better try it
SHEEP
SHEEN was also possible, and I might have tried it just for completeness, but I lucked out. Scoredle, unburdened by concerns related to “vowel coverage” or “WoFcons”, goes right to the solution on guess #2.

What does “AI” mean in this context? Actual AI, or any computer tools?

7235

This is my go to when completely stuck or lazy - not too often but for convenience I call it Ai.

Otherwise I use a look up table

which is more a reference tho less useful now we have repeats. :person_shrugging:

Not one that I would have considered a trap but all I had was pseudo bogus words so I went for the sleuth word.
