Bit of a stramash this one - though I had the right answer in 4, I talked myself out of it and then figured that I should use an elimination word in 5 to guarantee the 6.
What the **** is a TRICE??? When I tried TRIPE and it wasn't it I saw the B and thought "oh yeah well it has to be TRIBE". When that wasn't it I thought surely it has to be TRIKE then, NOPE!!! But the only thing left is TRITE. None of the other remaining letters makes any sense, NOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
