AMPLY β†’ The carryover nets us one vowel. With the L gone, I can’t use the quintessential first word second, but I can try the A with E and three more WoFcons, like so
SNARE β†’ I hope to avoid a trap, normally, but this word was just too good to pass up. T is still out there; I can try it with the three known letters with
TREAD β†’ Placed one, need to start working on other consonants. Two places left for the R, I can place it for sure with
REBAR β†’ With the bonus B, it can only be
REHAB

Scoredle liked my fourth guess, which put par in the rear-view mirror, but would have suggested a move to place the R with the third guess instead. On its own, it makes a couple of good cut-down plays but then misses the 50-50 par putt (mine was also 50-50 valids, but with more bogus possibles) to score a bogey of its own.

LASER
TREAD
REPAY
REHAB

At three, I saw RECAP, REPAY, and REHAB. So either of the ones with a P was the right play.
The only sort-of non-bogus word I missed was RERAN, which would have gotten me a bogey (and probably taken me a while to see).

Yep, pretty darn easy

Nicely done @MrDibble , especially since the answer could have also been aboil, amnio, folia, patio, or ratio !

I don’t believe they would use aboil or folia. And I’d guess something else before amnio.

REHAB β†’ One lonely A. If I add an O, and three of the remaining WoFcons, I can generate a word that is probably bogus
SANTO β†’ Here, I couldn’t think of any ?ASO? words, so I went with a regular plural just to shake things up
MAKOS β†’ What!?! Terminal S? And either OA? or ?AO for the first three letters? I wasn’t thinking well here, and dismissed the former out of hand, fixating on Wordle’s British origins and thus trying
GAOLS β†’ But a couple seconds did it here
OASIS

Should have gone to bed after the second guess, and I might have gotten it in three if my mind was a little fresher. Scoredle shows nineteen possibles after two, all having the same terminal letter, and only one was nonbogus, so it was there for the taking. But, I somehow did much better than Scoredle, which picks all bogus words after the carryover and misses a 50-50 guess on the sixth to end up in the loss column for today.
