$\begingroup$ It was on -1, for no very obvious reason, when I saw it. I don't know whether the "low quality" metric takes early votes into account somehow. (I think exactly what it does is deliberately not disclosed.) $\endgroup$– Gareth McCaughan ♦Sep 27, 2020 at 14:33

The remaining words are
ASIANISM, DISTASTE, ESTEEMED
because
then the eight 8-letter words form a word-square (and I think this is the only continuation with that property).
