GARTH as a word-puzzle answer

GARTH is a 5-letter word with 1 vowel (A) and 4 consonants (G, R, T, H). Every letter is distinct, so it rarely punishes a clean opening guess.

It leans on high-frequency letters (A, R, T), so a strong vowel-and-common-consonant opener tends to light up quickly. There are no rare letters here, so it is a fair, mid-difficulty answer for the daily Classic puzzle.
