After three I was left with the trap and GLAZE, FLAKE, FLAME, BLAZE and BLAME. If I could check FM and B I would know the answer so I semi-cheated and used an anagram finder to see if there were any possible words. Hence BUMFS, which apparently refers to superfluous documents and comes from British slang for toilet paper. I could have guaranteed a six without “cheating” but on the positive side I did learn a new word that I will never ever use.

I’ve only ever used it singular (I had to fill in all this bumf), and I’m not sure I’ve ever seen it written down.

STATE → And that looks like a prototrap. Between L, R and N, I’d like to try the first two as the second letter, so I’ll get both in one try.
FLARE → And that was a lucky guess. M or K? I’ll try M…
FLAME

What little analysis I did on that one really paid off, but for a birdie I was more lucky than good.

Still trying not to use the word list, but it’s cost me the last couple days. I think I still prefer the mental workout, even if my score is higher.
