Glad they are out of their “y” rut, though I gave it a good try at word 1.

Another three! I’m on a roll here.

I’m pretty sure UNFIT and UNLIT were all I had left. Won the coin-flip this time.

After my standard first word netted two letters, I went to an older choice of second word, which turned out to be fortuitous: it got me a third letter where my usual choice of second word would have gotten me zip. I thought for sure my third guess was going to nail it, but no such luck.

After that, I had the devil of a time finding any word that would fit what I knew. I set it aside for much of the day, and finally got it when I came back to it in the evening. So I’m very pleased with this 4.
