Entertain Xtra-Well, I am still under the weather with COVID-19 as I type this. It’s been a long, exhausting week of coughing, sinus warfare and pounding headaches but hopefully it’s reaching a terminus. I have a birthday coming up and I’d rather not be sick for it.

The word-puzzle game that has gone viral That's something Wordle and I have in common. Wordle will celebrate its one-year anniversary on June 19th (the day guess #0 was live, but before the game was made public), with guess #1 happening on my birthday, June 20th.

It's also the last day of the spring season. We aren't quite in the summer season yet, but with the heat waves sweeping the country, we might as well be.

Let's have a look at today's Wordle before I go on about the forest fires in this area, the smoke (which isn't pleasant when you have a respiratory illness), and the multiple dooms of climate change, recession, inflation, and war. This piece occasionally sounds truly apocalyptic!

How To Play Wordle

Wordle is a simple enough word puzzle game, even if sometimes it can throw difficult words at us. Basically you have to guess one word per day. You get six guesses to get the correct answer. There is a total pool of 2,309 possible solutions, so you want to guess the very best words you can think of to eliminate common letters and narrow down your available options.

When you guess a word, the grid of boxes will change colors. Correct letters in the wrong box will show up yellow. Correct letters in the right box will show up green. All incorrect letters show up grey. The goal is to get every box green for the win!

So my guessing wasn’t too bad here. I’m happy with a four, if not ecstatic. Scope worked out fairly well, actually, though it worked out especially well because I didn’t try to ferret out any other vowels in subsequent guesses. I’d only eliminated the ‘E’ but decided with the ‘O’ dead center like that—and the ‘E’ no longer an ending option—that I’d try to eliminate consonants first.

Sure, there were other ways I could have gone. I could have guessed afoul for instance. That would have knocked out the ‘A’ and the ‘U’ and given me an ‘L’ but not the ‘N’ I got with thorn. After thorn I only had three options left (according to Wordle Bot after the fact). These were flown, blown and known. Had I thought of blown before flown I could have gotten this in three. But I’ll take four. It’s splendid enough for me.
