I didn’t quite expect my third guess to be right. I didn’t think the word was common enough to be a solution, but I couldn’t think of anything else that fit. I know the word from the Americanized version of Macbeth, act V
Messenger: Cheese it, the copse!

Sorry, that’s an old joke.

I’m familiar with the word, and I’ve never read Macbeth. Can’t say where it’s appeared in my reading over the years, but I’ve encountered it enough to intuitively know it means a small grove of trees or wooded area.

In my case it helped that after my second guess, I had 2 greens and 2 yellows, there were only 3 possible placements of the yellows, and I could just mentally run through the alphabet for the remaining letter. I recognized ‘copse’ when I got to P in that one yellow arrangement, and nothing else worked for any of them.

MESSY → Not bad - placed S, no second one, and an E. I can’t see a way to guess all three WoFcons here, but I can try a word with two more vowels with
ANISE → Now the E is placed. And I’m feeling a little scared. I’ll try an O from the vowels, and another WoFcon
THOSE → That feels a bit better. I can check last WoFcon and vowel both with
LOUSE → This really feels like a trap. But I’ve only got so many consonants left, right? How hard can it be?
GORSE → One guess left. What do I see?
DOWSE
COPSE was it, of course; I think my final guess had been guessed before somewhat recently, but I really didn’t see anything else. My guesses were 92/116 (so I got off on the wrong foot), 16/45, 2/15 (probably my best guess this puzzle), 4/9, and 2/4 (a 50-50 if you take out the bogus words). And, it’s a little ironic when Scoredle keeps telling you (as it did three times in the midgame) “The best guess to make next would be WORSE.” Scoredle has a tough time of it as well - it does win, but goes the distance, and its final guess is a 50-50 (with POISE as the other possible, so definitely two valids there).

This looked tougher than it really was. Every step eliminated a lot of words, and by three I had no chance of failing (though a six was still possible).
I didn’t like burning three spaces on lower-tier consonants right at the start, but that actually helped me later.
