> NOR_T_H β Two comcons down the drain. Can I match up two more with the T, and throw in A & E? Yes!
> L_EA_S_T_ β Letβs see, separate A & E with the T to get ?ATE?.. uh, oh, looks like [DGHM]ATED trap territory. Iβm safe if I got all the possibles, but I need to try this _now_ if I want to stay safe - and if it is that trap. So
> M_ATE_D β Itβs not that trap. OK, T in first or second? Assume first, put AE together in 3-4 as the only place that worksβ¦ T?EA?, look through our rarer consonants and spot
> **TWEAK**
> BATED was also a trap possibility, and Iβve had lost if thatβs what it had been. Also, if I could say a few short (other) words: Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment!

Given what I had after one, Iβm fine with this par, especially with two lower-tier consonants.
