PURSE → Can’t see many possibilities for an A, so I’ll try an O which has more, along with another WoFcon and… a J
JOUST → Beware the unbeatable (?) pterodactyl! But not much help there. N or L left of the WoFcons, I’ll try L; terminal H looks better than K, and trust the B so
BLUSH → PLUSH already out. F… any others?
FLUSH → Yes, there is another, and I should have gone through the already-used consonants
SLUSH

4/27 followup, 3/12 third guess, then a 50-50 for par that I missed. Scoredle wins with its followup, mostly due to the influence of synonyms of “mash together” and “be quiet”, as well as the trap I fell into.
