It was really the only choice after SMELT, but I looked it up before I entered it into Wordle.

Actually, there were 3 choices: SPELT, SMELT, SWELT

Well that would be two after finding SMELT wasn't the answer. And to me, SWELT is even less a real word than SPELT. I might say SWELTER or SWELTERING, but never SWELT by itself.
