ROAST
PLIED
PIECE
PIQUE
PIXIE

A third (at least) PIECE - PIQUE - PIXIE, here. This one was painful; I had some sort of mental block as far as supernatural creatures are concerned, I guess.

CRATE

After the 2nd guess, something told me that it was time for a repeated letter. I didn’t expect an X, though, even when it looked like the only possible choice on the 4th guess.

PIXIE → No E, one and only one I. Common consonants?
FLIRT → Got one. Thought BRAIN here for the -RI sequence, but after typing it in and getting slapped for moving the I, I tried something suboptimal…
BRIAR → Thought CRIME for a second, but the E was already tried. But I associated to GRIME, and then…
GRIMY

If the Y didn’t hit, I’m not sure what I would have tried next with U and O still to go.

Darn it…I almost went with Grimy for my 3rd word, but changed my mind at last second. I’ll gladly take the 4 though.

Thanks! Didn’t think I’d be able to stay away for too long, and I was right. :laughing:
