CRASH → Whiff. I’ve had a lot of these lately… I really want to get a lot vowels out there, along at least one WoFcon, and I can do that with
YIELD → And the D is an unexpected surprise. Let me double up on the found vowel with a word that also gets the last two WoFcons
DENTE → Huh. Found 'em both. A solution without WoFcons. Try the D in the middle, then it could be
WEDGE → But it’s not. D in fourth. ?EGDE* goes nowhere, so GE?DE, looks like
GEODE
There was a massive -DGE trap that I didn’t see until it was too late; fortunately it did not contain the solution. My crucial third guess was 15/60, but it KOed most of the trap, leaving me with a virtual 50-50 shot at par (which I then missed). Scoredle takes a very different path; it guesses the third and last letters with its second guess, places them with its third, then differentiates between four widely varied valid words with its penultimate guess, leaving it with a tap-in bogey. An elegant use of elimination by the algorithm.

Consonants were elusive today, then I had to double up on an already-placed vowel. Tough one.
