Aaargh, was like pulling teeth today. Worst thing was that after nailing down the H and E immediately I could see the trouble incoming, and so it turned out:
S H A L E
P H O N E
C H I M E
T H E M E R H Y M E
Four different failed vowels in one slot is certainly something.
Had a correct hunch, after the last few days' answers, that it was going to be another -Y word, but this didn't help me narrow down the solution much faster after that alas:
H A I R Y
P O U T Y
F U L L Y
D U S K Y B U G G Y
Could've been worse, I was on the verge of risking MUMMY for each of the last two goes before a better (?) option presented itself.
