Well it’s the second-to-last day of July and monsoons have finally begun, though we need a great deal more rain before I could accurately describe the landscape as anything like wet. It’s still hot and dry, but the light showers we’re getting definitely help cool things off. As I type this, it’s sunny and raining at the same time, which is one of my favorite weather phenomena.
In any case, it’s Sunday at last. Time to kick back and relax. Play some games. Watch some of the many new shows that are out this weekend.
I’ll be playing tabletop RPGs a bunch this weekend with my gaming group, which I’m excited about.
So without further adieu (a great starting guess, by the way) let’s Wordle!

Wordle Bot Analysis
Well, I don’t feel terrible about guessing in four even if it’s not ideal. You’ll understand why I’m miffed when we get to the score below.
My opening guess—urges—wasn’t so hot, leaving me with 284 remaining solutions. Flake was less, uh, flaky, but I still had 16 words left. I decided to test out the ‘A’ in the first box, to no avail. Adobe did, however, leave me with just one possible remaing word: bathe.
Today’s Score
Wordle Bot cleaned my clock today, guessing in just two. One point from House Kain. Zero points for guessing in four. -1 total. Lame!
Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word “bathe” can be traced back to Old English, where it was originally spelled as “baþian” (pronounced /bɑːθiɑn/). The Old English verb “baþian” meant “to bathe, wash, or immerse in water.” It was derived from the Proto-Germanic root “*baþōną,” which had a similar meaning.
The Proto-Germanic root “*baþōną” is also linked to related words in other Germanic languages. For example, in Old High German, it became “badōn,” which later evolved into the modern German word “baden,” meaning “to bathe.” In Old Norse, the word was “baða,” and it is related to the modern Icelandic word “baða,” both of which mean “to bathe.”
