MATCH → Whiff. Try I, E and three comcons, jumble up and get
RILES → Well, that’s something. Since N is still around, I’ll swap the two known letters, add an -NG ending and tack on C or B to the start to get
FLING → (I tried F). So, where should the L go? Not much at start. Assume 4th. Do I go with ?OIL? or ?UIL?, think I’ll try the latter, bookend with B & D to get

QUILL and DOILY were both still out there, and I gave a quick thought to each of them before the answer. It’s a nice par; I’ll take it.
My second guess should’ve been CLOUD.

Given that I only had one yellow after 2, happy to get the 4.
I have two standard third guesses when I get that far knowing practically nothing. The other one is GIMPY. I’m glad I went with the one I did this morning.

After the opening whiff, I wanted the remaining vowels and some more comcons. LINUS was not a valid guess. Good grief! The dog next door is named LUPIN, so I gave that a shot, and it worked!
After that, I had told myself not to rely on the used words list so much. I resisted temptation, gritted my teeth, and trusted the B. And the fates were on my side! Fun birdie.
I can’t seem to break my string o’ fours. But it looks like I’m in good company!
