I wanted to start with APRIL, today being the first of, but apparently, names of months aren’t valid words… But then, it turns out to be something that’s (also) a month!

MARCH => only alternative was PARCH which seemed less likely
ETA: Kind of an ironic choice for April 1. Maybe it was a subtle April Fool’s joke?

MARCH
Trying a double-double at three didn’t really pay off, but somehow I still pulled a par out of my butt.
I thought exactly the same thing!

EVERY → Two vowels gone already. Try another couple…
ROAST → Got one. Still no idea where the R is. ARIAL is “not in word list”, so I’ll try something with a U…
AURAL → Only one A. With that R in the middle, I’m not sure what ?ARI? gets us… so maybe something with 3 consonants in a row? SCRAM? or perhaps…
MARCH
The oddest-feeling 4 I’ve had in a while.

RANCH
LAMPS
MARCH
LAMPS was, of course, a test word, as after RANCH I could see LARCH, MARCH, and PARCH–none of which had been solutions.
Not a respectable score, but kind of fun (and fast) anyway.
(Like others, I had the thought that MARCH on April 1 might have been a bit of a joke.)

Stupid trap word. 
Not a great game for my birthday…no joke, it really is. And if this was the editor’s way of trying to be funny, I’m not laughing.
Damn, I struggled with this one! In the end, the word just clunked into place. I thought I was still in letter-discovery phase.

I was about to write that I got a huge assist from the previous answers list, but I realize now that every single previous answer eliminated was already eliminated by my first two words: stomp, stool, store, story, stout, stove. It feels like I used meta knowledge, but this is technically more of an earned 3.
