SMELL → Slow start. So now I really want to try to place the E, and try a bunch of WoFcons. ENTER would have done this well, but for some reason I Jumbled together another word, to wit

It did take a bit longer to see than I usually take, but with a birdie on the line I was happy to think it through - and it turns out that birdie was a tap-in, whether I went with the good word I should have tried or the bogus one I actually did.
