RABID → Ah, but not the B
RAPID
ARRAY is Scoredle’s second guess, which ends up being much less productive than it should be, leading the algorithm to take a bogey as well. Scoredle and I did converge on the last two answers, though, so at the moment we are in a club all to ourselves.

“Wanna rumba? Well, pick a rumba from one to ten.” - Groucho

.
After my starting word, Scoredle told me:

There are now 1,191 possible guesses.
The best guess to make next would be PARER.

Scoredle seems to be in love with that word, it pops up at least a couple times a month as one of its suggested guesses. And it remains my least favorite Wordle solution of all time.

RAPID → That’s not a bad start. On reflection, I could have gone with RENAL here, but for some reason I guessed
REAST → and Wordle took it. And then, when I should have gone with ROYAL, I had an odd channel of
ROGAN → which finally placed the A by elimination, so I tried words with RY- and RU- and the latter let me see
RUMBA

Scoredle and I had distinctly different guesses, but we both guessed the other vowels in the same order, and both finished with pars. Go figure.
