Took me some time to realize I needed to double up on the E. I don’t think I played it badly, but I found this a tough one.

This was a toughie! After 2, I was expecting a solution that was either cRvcE or cvRcE, with c=consonant and v=vowel. All but a few of those had been used, so I expected that my 3rd guess would either be the solution or identify it.

Well, it did, sorta. It foreclosed the above options and sent me racking my brain for RvcvE and RvvcE options. The problem was finding any at all, other than RUPEE which had been used. So when I finally saw one, I jumped on it. Turned out there really wasn’t anything else out there.

Nice! Doubling up on that T was the key today, which came about only because I didn’t see a lot of options with multiple WoFcons. Sometimes the stars just align.

REVUE → Whiff. A, O and three WoFcons, stat!
LOANS → Got the O, at least. Two vowels left, T from the WoFcons, took a bunch of wild guesses at what might be considered a word, struck gold with
TOIDY → So the T is nice, as is eliminating all other vowels. Must be another O in there somewhere. If it’s doubled, looks like it might be
TOOTH

Big save for par. Scoredle ends up with the same score for the puzzle, and does better than it does with its own start.
