UMBRA → A not unexpected start, so I’ll go with the quintessential good first word second…
SLATE → Hey, I can place the A with… could it be… SATAN! Nope, they dont allow that, so I’ll try an I
SATIN

Good luck substitution ends with a win. I count four valids out of the 11 possibles after the followup, so some good luck that I fixated on the one with the win. Scoredle tries two placements, doubling up on the second guess and tripling on the third, which delays it enough that it ends up with a bogey. Tough day for the algorithm.

SATIN → Not a bad start, though I hoped for a little more. Last two WoFcons plus E and… Y, it looks like, for
EARLY → That’s something to build on. O and U are left of the vowels, and I’m betting against U. (No offense)
CARGO → No help there. I think a second A is more likely than a U, so I’ll try
FARAD → Great capacity for As today. But it must go at the end… and then what? I had some good chicken for dinner yesterday, so I’ll try
PARMA → Ah, not much call for these when it’s warming up
PARKA

After my followup, Scoredle liked my third guess, but thereafter I went completely off the rails. At least the final guess was a tap-in for valid words. Scoredle’s followup is impressive, leaving it with two valids out of ten possibles, and it hits the putt for a birdie. Good job by the algorithm.
