Today’s Wordle
Tap the NYTimes app on my phone. The headline: “Post-Roe Upheaval Has Turned North Carolina Into an Abortion Haven.” Sigh…can’t click on the “Section” icon fast enough. It links to Games. Type in /ADIEU/ with pride that I figured that word out before learning it is commonly used to suss vowels. Type in my second vowel susser: /STORY/. Michael’s way of “wordling” comes to mind, but I don’t want to play that way, when you must use the discovered letters in the next attempt. Here’s what I got: /D/ /T/ E/ /R/ and none of them in the right place. Blur the vision a bit and hope for inspiration. Let the mind play. Could begin with /RE/… /E/ can’t be the 4th letter so that knocks out ending in /ED/ or /ER/. Argh, I got nothin’…going fishing for more consonants. Type /FIGHT/ a stupid choice but let’s just get moving. It was a stupid choice. /T/ I learn is NOT the last letter. Three more chances left. Grab a Post-it and diagram a Wordle hangman. This is taking way too long to be enjoyable, but I’m in it now. Okay, get serious. It probably ends in /ND/ THINK! You’ve taught word patterns. Ah, /TREND/ works. Here goes…eureka I got “SPLENDID” but I know it’s not, but I sure appreciate the creators of the game stroking my ego enough for me to tap the NYTime app again tomorrow. What a monkey mind!
