I was able to spot at least six or seven other legit possibilities that hadn’t been used yet, so definitely lucky.

That’s my take as well: a 2 is always a matter or luck. Either the solution matched up well with your starting word, or you had a lucky second guess, or both.

ARROW → One and only one R, placed. At least it won’t be one of those -RER ending words today. Now I need vowels, and WoFcons, but I can’t find a word with two of both along with that middle R. So,
PERIL → Is it THREE? or should I try for something with a U? Can’t see anything with U?R(E?|?E), or an -RUE ending, but I can try two WoFcons with
NURSE

There were at least eight - probably more - nonbogus possibles after my second guess, so I’m putting that one up to luck. Scoredle finishes with a birdie on a 1-in-3 shot, so I guess it was a bit more skillful.
