...

How old is your dictionary? Merriam-Webster claims the word was first used in 1950, while Etymology Online says "1940s, aviators' jargon".

⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ [DIARY] 328 left
⬛🟨🟨🟨⬛ [LOUSE] filter - 6 left: GUSTO SCOUT SHOUT SNOUT SPOUT STOUT
⬛🟩🟨🟨⬛ [CHUTE] filter - 1 left
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 [SHOUT]

Bad start but still saved with the most-probable-selected-word-by-a-human criteria. My suggestions for the 3rd guess as a filter were words with the letter N-P-T which would have filtered all words except SCOUT and SHOUT. Both of these were my 2 preferred words! So I looked for a filter word containing the letters C-H-T instead.

I am not sure I agree that STOUT or SPOUT are that much less likely to be selected by a human so the benefit is debatable. Either way, the correct filter word that is guaranteed to solve it in 4 for you was PUNCH as the position of the U would be unique for GUSTO if correct, P, N, C, or H yellow would identify any word that isn’t STOUT, leaving STOUT as the only possible solution if only the U is yellow

Edit: More clearly, PUNCH results in the following:

U green -> GUSTO
U yellow, no other yellow -> STOUT
U yellow, X yellow -> SXOUT

The third guess suggestion was WISPY, but I didn't think the "W" and "P" words - or even the "B" words - were going to be among the most probable choices. So I looked for a filter with DFM or DGM and preferably with an O in the second place. (Kind of cheated by looking on line to find one.)
