SLANT
CHORE
BIPED
CREED

After 2, the first word I thought of was CREEK, and I was surprised to find that the whole CREED/CREEK/CREEP group hadn’t been used yet. Thought of CIDER and CYBER next, both used. Then more longshot possibilities like (town) CRIER and CUBER and CURER (which since PARER was fair game, why not these?). So I went with BIPED as a sleuth word at 3, and it narrowed it down to the solution.

Been getting a lot of blanks with my starting word lately, which is rare, given that it’s chock full of WoFcons.

I was between BREED and CREED at the third guess and went the wrong direction. Such is life.

WAVER → Not a bad start. WoFcons and I feel like… an I
TRIES → No luck on the I, but at least a placement… and it’s looking trappish. L is still out there, and I can cover U with
GRUEL → “More, sir?” Ah, nothing for you. I’m seeing a lot of EE words, so I’ll try
CREEP → Ouch. Am I safe? I see at least two others. I hate Scott Stapp, so first I’ll try
CREEK → Last shot
CREED

Turns out I was safe after my fourth guess, even if I stretched it to six. Scoredle gets it in four, though it hits a first-letter trap, and had three more valid possibles left after its win, so a loss was possible.
