Why this answer
The letters, categories, or grid logic that made this one tricky.
What made this one tricky:
- BURST: has 1 vowel slot.
BURST works as both a verb and a noun: something can burst open, or a burst can be a sudden short spell of energy, sound or activity. The grid is consonant-heavy, with U as the lone vowel and the uncommon final RST run doing most of the narrowing.

More from the desk
Once U is fixed in the second slot, test consonants that can survive around it instead of spending guesses on extra vowels. B and the closing R-S-T sequence turn a broad U__ pattern into a much smaller family.
