BROTH
BOOTH

BOOTH actually popped into my head after the first guess. But I didn’t want to play a double letter so early. gah!

My regular first guess left only one possible word. I feel like I’ve almost made up for failing the other day.

BOOTH → Thought for a second I had whiffed. Wasted an O. Need E & A and two WoFcons, T or S would go well with that H and so I decided on
SHEAR → So that R was a good pickup, and pretty much has to go in fourth. I’ve got three vowels left, but not much space for trying two of them at once, so this may go the distance. Already tried T & S, what else could go before the H? C…
CHIRP → Could be CHURL (unlikely, archaic) or
CHURN

Followup was 13/722 and an anagram of Scoredle’s top word; I agreed with Scoredle on the third guess, and had considered both of the possibles for the final guess. Possibly my closest performance to the algorithm ever - and as you would expect, it also finishes with a par.
