FUZZY → Not unexpected.
SLATE → A bit worse than I expected. Almost my second two-whiff day in a row. With two vowels remaining, I wanted to try them both, along with the last WoFcons, and somehow hit on
EIRON → and I’m getting more than a bit nervous. Saw a word that doubled up on the R to try to place and went for it
ORDER → And now there’s an obvious trap, but what’s left?
POWER → Not that. So much left. Roll the dice on the first thing I see
HOVER

One-in-seven shot for the birdie. Scordle is also fairly lucky, getting a coin flip on the sixth guess. Might be my lowest-odds save ever.

BONER (The R helps. Very few letters left to make sleuth words.)
MUNCH (Sleuth word.)
HOVER (Only one left.)

These are the days I hate this game.
Traps like this suck all the fun out of playing.

And have I complained about all the -ER words lately? Yes I have, and I’ll likely continue to do so.

HOVER → Slow start. Time for a good second word first, and I can use what Scoredle says is the best
SLATE → N is still out there, but for some reason I’m feeling like the vowels are more pressing… so I’ll hunt for a couple more of them.
DEITY

Pretty lucky on my part how it turned out. Poor Scoredle takes a double bogey from this start, and only a par from its own.
