Gah. I fucked up on my 3rd guess. Probably could’ve had it in 4.

A sleuth word at three might have been a better play here; I could potentially have been in big trouble if VALUE hadn’t given me anything. But it worked out OK, and I suspect I would have managed otherwise.

SONAR → Slow start. Add an E, and… two of three WoFcons, so
DELTA → Good choice on the WoFcons. Might I have another L in there? Only so many places for the vowels to go, so let’s try
ALLEY → Not another L. Looks like the E goes at the end, and then what can fill in? Ooh, pair of Vs could be
VALVE

Followup was 108/1075, but third guess was the definition of mediocrity, 6/11 and the final was 1-in-4 (plus one bogus word) - the worst case was to go the distance. Scordle also scores a par, with the final guess being 1-in-3 and no worse than a bogey.

After 2, both possibilities, FLUME and PLUME, had both been used already. But PLUME was used just three months ago (#1777) and FLUME was the solution to Wordle #68. So easy choice.
