November is quickly passing us by. Soon, we’ll be celebrating Turkey Day and giving thanks for all the many blessings we have in this life. Then it’s our great national holiday: Black Friday. Get ready for those sales! sales! sales!

For now, though, let’s Wordle, shall we?

Wordle Bot Analysis
After each Wordle I solve I head over to the Wordle Bot homepage to see how my guessing game was.
Right off the bat, I came out swinging. I suppose today’s Wordle isn’t super difficult, but I got lucky enough with stair to make it even easier. My next guess, aorta, was mainly an attempt to place the ‘A’ in a couple different spots, eliminate another vowel, and see what happened. It wasn’t bad! Three guesses remained, though I could only think of tardy and tarry.
I went with tardy because A) it seemed more likely and B) it didn’t have a double letter, which meant I’d at least eliminate more in the process. Lucky for me, I got it right. Huzzah!
Today’s Score
Just like yesterday and the day before yesterday, I get 1 point for guessing in three, but 0 for tying Wordle Bot. 1 x 2 (for 2XP Friday) gets me 2 points. Bangarang!
Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word “tardy” has its origins in Middle English. It can be traced back to the Old French word “tardif,” which means “slow” or “delayed.” The Old French word, in turn, is derived from the Latin word “tardus,” which also means “slow” or “late.” So, “tardy” ultimately has its roots in Latin and has retained its meaning of being late or delayed throughout its evolution in the English language.
