In any case, I have a puzzle for you today since it’s Wordle Wednesday:

I have cities, but no houses. I have mountains, but no trees. I have water, but no fish. What am I?

I’ll let you know the answer tomorrow. For now, it’s time to Wordle!

Wordle Analysis

Every day I check Wordle Bot to see how I did. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.

I got very lucky today after some unlucky and just rather poor guesses. Spare was just pulled from a hat and left me with 246 remaining options. About only cut that down to 30 and dogma left me with five. Fortunately, I got lucky on my final guess: local for the win!

Competitive Wordle Score

A wash! 0 for guessing in four and for tying the Bot. Alrighty then!

Today’s Wordle Etymology

The word “local” comes from the Latin word “localis,” which means pertaining to a place. The root of “localis” is “locus,” meaning place. The use of “local” in English to mean pertaining to or connected with a particular place or locality came into use in the early 15th century. Over time, “local” has come to describe something or someone belonging to a particular area, community, or region, as opposed to being widespread or universal.
