SWELL - I’m doing this way too often
SLEEK
LAYER → Solid start. A different vowel… and an S? What could go after the E?
SOLED → -EL is a rare ending, so SL?E? it is. Try a T on the end? But then we need a double E…
SLEET → OK, I got this!
SLEEP → Uh, not quite. Oh… K.
SLEEK
Fast but another bogey. I really didn’t expect a trap there…

SLEEK
Shoulda been a two. SLEEK jumped out at me immediately, and I almost went with it. Then my brain said no, a more common consonant and another vowel would be smarter. Stupid brain.
At least I missed SLEEP, which helped me tap in the birdie. (It also could have been SHELF, which I didn’t see either, so I’ll cop to being a little lucky.)
< Yawn > Another 4.

Yet another SLEEP - SLEEK. We do tend to go for the nouns before the adjectives–and that usually pays off. (I believe; I don’t have statistics, though I’m sure someone does.)
I was surprised to see that no SLE_ _ or SHE _ _ words had been winners before today.

Kind of lost the plot there with guess 3 when I forgot the E.

This one is all luck. I was hunting for a word with an E, and hopefully an N or M, or with two letter I but this was all I could think of.

That was a toughie, at least for me! Was just fishing for letters in my second and third guesses - didn’t have much to go on even after 2 guesses. I thought for sure I had it with my fourth guess, but no such luck. For my fifth, I think there were no other possibilities besides the solution.

For the second day in a row, I had the answer one word earlier and didn’t pull the trigger in on it.

SLEEK → Oh, my. (At least) 2 Es, can’t be EERIE cause we need that L in there… so E?L?E, LE??E (LEAVE? not LETHE), ?EL?E (BELLE?) Gotta try something…
BELLE → It’s always the one I overlook.
BELIE
So close to a 2.
