As I gazed over the keyboard this morning, in search of that perfect word, I thought of SAUCE and didn’t remember using it before. I actually prefer hunting consonants with my first guess but I decided to stick with it and it worked out great. The starting S with U and C needing homes. I thought the C most likely went in second position with the U in fourth as I couldn’t think of any 5 letter words that started SCU. So, SCxUx. Has to be SCOUT, right? Fortunately, I didn’t think of SCOUR until just now or I would have gone with it first. Phew!
