SUAVE → I noodled around here thinking about ?OA?? words with three WoFcons, and could find none that didn’t use the S. So I switched to I and went with
TRAIL
A fairly rare two for me. Starting from SUAVE, Scoredle takes three, and even gets fairly lucky with its third guess (14 non-bogus words to choose from). I feel lucky that I was primed to think about words with L first, or I might have tried TRAIN and ended with a three.

I protest most vehemently.
TRAIL → A good start word, and what does it get me? One I, placed. I tried to think of a word with E, S, and N and came up with one that I figured was never gonna be an answer, so I kept looking and settled on
DENIM → So getting the D was pretty lucky. I tried UNDIE first, then thought of another word that was barely in the bounds of acceptability, so
NUDIE → and then realized there was a repeat letter
INDIE
Scoredle doesn’t put a priority on the E, going in a different direction with its second word by trying an O, then fills the middle three slots and holes out with a par. I guess today’s epiphany for me was finding out just how many words there are with that first letter I placed - way more than I think of at first consideration.

Sure, Wordle. Whatever.

YEAST (I’m left ripe with possibilities. But I’ll start by hunting for vowels.)
LOUIE (That’s an interesting combination of placed vowels. There has to be another E or I.)
INDIE (A leading E left no plausible answers. INNIE was possible but not likely.)
But if you don’t use Hard Mode, you can suit yourself and edit your post here, merely by adding an asterisk.

:shrug: Indie films, indie record labels, etc. have been part of the language since at least the 1970s, so it’s well-established slang imho. The hard part for me was seeing that ‘indie’ rather than an attempted singular of ‘Indies’ as in East Indies and West Indies. So I looked right at ‘indie’ and discarded it because it was the singular of a proper noun that is only used in the plural. Finally tried it anyway out of desperation because there was nothing else out there. And then thought, ‘oh yeah, indie labels etc…’
