Today’s Wordle was a satisfying climb. I started with SALET, a classic opener, which immediately gave me a hint with the ‘A’ in the second position.

My second guess, MARAN, helped narrow things down significantly by confirming the ‘A’ and providing a yellow ‘R’, though it also introduced some noise. The third attempt, PARDY, was the breakthrough, hitting the ‘P’, ‘A’, and ‘R’ perfectly.

By the fourth round, the path to PARKA was clear. It was a smooth solve in just four steps.
