Today I did something I very rarely do - once I got that second word, I looked up a word list. It looks like that it might be the last of that particular trap

YEAST (Looks good. The smart money is on S?A?E, but there are few unused words left.)
SHALE (That WoFcon didn’t do anything except confirm S?A?E. A different WoFcon?)
SPARE (Yesssss!)

I got lucky by exposing the trap immediately, then I got smart (for a change) and didn’t fall into it.
It had been ten days since my last three. ‘Bout damn time.

HAZEL → Good start on the vowels, but there are four WoFcons left out there, and I’d better start on them.
STARE → And… that’s a trap. H is gone, fortunately, but C, N, and P are still out there. N is a WoFcon, so try it first.
SNARE → Nope. Alpha order?
SCARE → Gotta be a P.
SPARE
TEASE is Scoredle’s second guess, which helps it get a birdie. Sometimes luck is with the algorithm.

Could’ve also been BEGAT or EXPAT; GREAT, CHEAT, and TREAT had already been used.
