Got a bit lucky on 3, there were still a half-dozen possibilities left.

GUILE → Whiff. Time for a standard first guess second… and wow, already three vowels gone (along with one WoFcon)
ROAST → Just the N is left of the WoFcons, I’ll try an SNA?? word… it feels remarkably untraplike, but we’ll see.
SNACK → The K. Hmmm. SKA?? goes nowhere, but SNAKE would be out two, for two reasons… but SNAKY would only be out for one reason, and that transitions closely to
SHAKY
I felt pretty good about this, and came close to applying for the Galactic Institute’s prize for Extreme Cleverness for saving par, when I saw that 1) Scoredle chipped in for birdie with a good twenty non-bogus possibles to chose from, and 2) I was really down to only one possible left. Ah, well.

Finally an easy one! Easy because both crept and erupt have already been answers.

Fortunate second word. With a P, the T placed at the end, and E already eliminated, there was only one choice left.

SHAKY → Near-whiff. A non-terminal Y? Probably either start or middle. I can check E, O and one WoFcon with the latter, so that’s what I’ll try
FOYER → Middle. And an R. I’m not seeing words with an abundance of WoFcons here, but T is still untried, so I’ll try a tale from the

Nice to get back on the birdie train. Scoredle, FWIW, made the exact same guesses.
