The Answer:
Balmy
Every day I check on Wordle Bot to help with my Wordle guesses. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here. Here's the Wordle Bot.
I wasn't too far off this time with my opening guess, BEACH. With that, I went from 11 words to 8. After considering BALMY, I thought it might be time to think outside the box and guess BUMBLY, but thankfully, I got lucky with BALM.
Today's Wordle Explanation
With Wordle Bot by my side, I analyze my Wordle guessing game each day.
Although BALMY seems an obvious choice when thinking of the hint, it never hurts to start with something concrete. Bubble (BEACH) got me started this time. Three misses later, I finally landed it with Balm.
