I was sure there was going to be a second E in there. Nothing with a U, and you don’t often see three consonants starting a word. Still, with an unlucky opener today, I’m good with the par.

LINER → A placed E and a free R is nothing to sneeze at. I can try two more comcons and an A with
RATES → So where should the T go? Two more vowels out there, but maybe I should double up on the E? Ah, why not?
GREET → No repeated E. Feels like no progress, either, though I’ve eliminated a lot of possible places for R & T. ??RE?, T can’t be last, ?TRE? goes nowhere, I got hung up on T?RE? for a while trying to fit a second vowel in there, then I saw the H and all became clear
