Subject: [PATCH] Move 44 confirmed real Wordle answers from guesses-only list
 to answers list

Cross-referenced every historical solution from NYT's Wordle API
(2021-06-19 through today) against answers.txt and found 44 words that
were actually used as real answers but were sitting in the guesses-only
list: atlas, atria, balsa, beaut, carom, colic, cubit, divot, emoji,
gizmo, gofer, grift, guano, gunky, hydra, indie, kazoo, kefir, knell,
laser, loris, matte, maven, mommy, mooch, muggy, nervy, oasis, oomph,
pious, primp, pshaw, shill, shred, sitar, snafu, spate, squid, suede,
taupe, tinge, tizzy, toady, uvula.
