> _RA_IS_E_ β Good guess! Can I knock out L and T now as well? No, I can just get one. So try

REACT and HEART were both potentials, but both had already been used. I found HEART but not REACT. I was pretty sure @BobLibDem was getting a 2 today, too. π Happy for others who did, also!

My streak of ineptitude continues.
I actually considered TEARS as my second word, but decided to use L instead of S, which led me down a crooked path to bogeyville.
