STRIP → Not a bad carryover. L & N are left of the WoFcons, I can try them with an E with
LINER → Is I in the middle? I’d like to place one of the vowels, and it could be a double L, so let’s try
GRILL

Got lucky with my choice of other consonant - could have easily fallen into a trap. Followup was a solid 6/309, third guess was 3/17 with six valids, so pretty lucky guessing. Scoredle also gets a birdie with a 1-in-24 putt (1-in-12 valids), so the algorithm had a lucky day too.

My second deuce in three days!
All credit goes to the random word generator today. The only other possible follow-ups were GROWL and GLORY. Any of the three, if wrong, would eliminate one of the others, so I was destined for no worse than a birdie.
