And after some rain and wind this past weekend, I can see snow up on the mountains: It’s actually quite lovely. I’m still fighting off this cold but I managed to get out for a lovely spot of lunch, a coffee, a visit to a boutique plant shop and then a hike with my three dogs in the forest. That’s a lot more moving around than I’ve done in the past few days, laid up with my fever and congestion.

I feel pretty good about today’s Wordle, despite it taking four guesses, because I managed to guess it without a single yellow box! There’s nothing special about that.

I don’t get extra points or anything. It’s just kind of neat when every letter you guess ends up in the right spot from the get-go. Shore landed me two green boxes and, I discovered later, just 12 words remained to choose from.

I wish I’d picked all new letters for my second guess. I might have narrowed it down and gotten it in three. Instead, I guessed chime which really wasn’t bad, but still left me with four options and just three correct letters.

Can you solve today’s phrase? Play Now This, alas, left me with two words to choose from. Wordle Bot pointed out that thine would have been a better guess and I’d have only had one— white would be straight out—but I guessed while and got it nonetheless.

Huzzah! Today’s Score A total wash today. 0 points for guessing in four and 0 points for tying with the Wordle Bot. It’s a fair cop! Today’s Wordle Etymology The word “while” has an interesting etymology.

It comes from the Old English word “hwil,” which was used to refer to a period of time or a while. In Old English, “hwil” could also mean “a space of time” or “a season. ” Over time, the spelling and pronunciation evolved, and “hwil” eventually became “while” in Middle English.

The word “while” has been used in English for many centuries to indicate a period of time or duration, and it is still commonly used in that sense today. Additionally, “while” can also be used as a conjunction to introduce a contrast or a condition, as in “while I like chocolate, my sister prefers vanilla. ” In this context, it implies a sense of “although” or “whilst.
