NORTH → Two comcons down the drain. Can I match up two more with the T, and throw in A & E? Yes!
LEAST → Let’s see, separate A & E with the T to get ?ATE?.. uh, oh, looks like [DGHM]ATED trap territory. I’m 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
MATED → It’s not that trap. OK, T in first or second? Assume first, put AE together in 3-4 as the only place that works… T?EA?, look through our rarer consonants and spot
TWEAK
BATED was also a trap possibility, and I’ve had lost if that’s what it had been. Also, if I could say a few short (other) words: Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment!

Given what I had after one, I’m fine with this par, especially with two lower-tier consonants.
Didn’t expect this many threes.
