Lots of threes so far today; good work, folks!
PIANO is statistically a top ten starter for me, but today wasn’t the best day for it to come up.

PUPIL → Whiff. Good first guess second, then
TASER → Three hits, unplaced. Don’t know if that’s good or bad. O is remaining, I’ll try a word with one
STOMA → Only A (or As). Though it it were As, there would be two of 'em back to back, by process of elimination. Gotta be one in the middle. So T is fourth or end. Try end, and the last WoFcon. SHANT was rejected, so I went with
SCANT → S?AT? and neither ? is T, so looking at unused consonants I see
SWATH

That was a fun five, just enough challenge for entertainment. Scoredle also makes five, so I blame the start word (especially since Scoredle wins in two from its start word!)
