Interesting third pick--far more obscure than the answer. Nice. I parred as well.
Spoiler for Par, but would have been penalized for slow play on the fourth shot.:
FEINT
PLAID
HUMID
VIVID
Spoiler for strategy, such as it was:
I had way too many other possible letters after my second guess to consider VIVID. However, even if I had thought of it, I probably would have rejected it because of the double letter thing.

Like PAC, I had a par, but I probably spent half an hour (with several breaks in between to do actual work) to get the final word. When I thought of it I had a "Duh" moment,
Spoiler for Guesses:
But the double-double threw me. Is this the first time with a pair of doubles?
I also only had one yellow box after my first two guesses, which is rare.

There's three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who's got the same first name as a city; and never go near a lady's got a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

Reason: I inadvertently added my response below to SF's post. I deleted that, restoring his post to the original. Oops...
Birdie as well. PAC's scoredle site is pretty cool. It says I had 24 possibilities on word 3 but I just put in the first thing that popped into my mind that would fit and didn't even consider any other options. So I got a lucky guess on a 1/24 chance.
