I was about to congratulate you before but then you really hit the mark. It's funny but my intuition was saying 7.
Hope I didn't nerd snipe you from doing something actually useful 😁

We're all at 7 now, if I count right. Is there a 6?
Lind is a variant of the word lend, at least according to the Oxford dictionary. And lene is a variant of lean according to the same.
So you could do:
lead
lend
lind OR lene
