With one WoFcon left, I can try a pretty good first word third > **STO** L **E** β†’ OK, how big is this trap? K, V, … I don’t see any more, perhaps I am safe? > **STO** V **E** β†’ One left > **STOKE** > > Two traps on back to back days is a bit of a pain, but at least this one wasn’t fatal. The followup was 30/1307, then 2/3, 1/2 and the tap-in bogey. With a different followup, heavy on WoFcons but also trying to place the E, Scoredle takes a little longer to find the trap, and goes the distance in it, finishing with a double bogey. ---
