Me, too. After 2 guesses, i had 5 possible words:
Dense
Sense
Ensue
Noose
Unsee
I thought that my 3rd word, DOUSE, would distinguish among them, but it wouldn’t have distinguished ENSUE from UNSEE. If I’d realized that, i would have gone with one of the possible words, probably DENSE, as it splits then into the same groups as DOUSE.

SWORN → I really wanted to try an A in the followup here, but could not find a word that used it, and E, moved the S but not to the end, and another WoFcon to boot. So I went with E, a WoFcon, and an I, after taking an inordinate amount of time to figure out
INSET → So at least I got the E. Now I bit the bullet and went with the terminal S along with the A for
LEANS → So I’m out of WoFcons (barring a double), U &Y are left of the vowels, so I figured I’d try a second E and since NEEDS was out I went with
DENSE
If SWORD had been yesterday’s word, I might have had a better shot at a birdie. Scoredle gives my third guess 17/65, although it left me with but one valid word left for par (and seven bogus ones, so somewhat of a challenge I guess?) Scoredle’s followup leaves it with a 50-50 (or possibly 1-in-3, but I think the NYT would not allow the third as a solution) for birdie, but it misses and gets a par.

KNELT and UNLIT had been used. (Didn’t see KNELT until afterwards; those KN words are hard for me to spot. Lucky that it had been used already.) But getting three consonants right off the bat does narrow things down nicely.

DENSE → That’s not a bad start. The extra E is not wasted! So for my followup I started trying a bunch of letters to find possibles, and it hits on
TALER → Which is how I found out that I’ve somehow turned off hard mode, because what happened to the N? Which I didn’t expect, but makes the solution easy
INLET
Scoredle can’t grade my followup, because its algorithm essentially relies on hard mode for its list of possibles. On its own hook, Scoredle gets a par, just missing a birdie (the solution was 2/20 after its followup). Now I just have to remember to turn hard mode back on tomorrow…
