Today's solution came after some thought since I knew that the Wordle had more consonants than vowels. A good opening guess could be SHIRE, but I started with SHERY since it includes three common consonants (B, R, and Y). From there, I guessed BEPAT, which helped me narrow down my options. I then arrived at BALMY after further guesses.
