We’ve made it one more time around the sun, ladies and gentlemen. And we’re still in one piece after the holidays. Mostly.
I admit, I’m always a little sad when Christmas is over, but I’m able to soften the blow a bit by looking forward to New Year’s. You can keep the tree and the lights up, and still feel quite festive. But then what about when it’s over? Back to business as usual, I suppose.
Stave off the post-holiday blues by looking forward to what comes next. Let’s see . .
. maybe this year I’ll celebrate the Orthodox Christmas as well! That’s on this coming Sunday, January 7th. After that, I may as well celebrate the Old New Year, also known as the Orthodox New Year, which is on the 14th of January.
The next day is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, so we can really keep the holidays going for a solid two weeks if we want to! In the meantime, we have Wordles to solve. Let’s do today’s! How To Solve Today’s Word .
. . Today’s Wordle Wordle Bot Analysis After each Wordle I solve I head over to the Wordle Bot homepage to see how my guessing game was.
I was a little surprised when clear did so poorly today, leaving me with just one yellow ‘A’ and a whole field of grey. Afterwards, Wordle Bot informed me that 199 possible solutions remained. Rotten luck! But the best thing you can do with rotten luck is a great second guess.
I chose hoist, which I’ll often choose if my first guess is bad and didn’t use any of those letters. This slashed the remaining solutions down to just two, despite leaving me with only one more box—a green ‘I’. I came up with two to choose from: aging and aping and I went with the more obvious answer, which was (as is usually the case) the right choice.
Huzzah! I get 1 point for guessing in three and 0 for tying the Bot. I’ll take it! Today’s Wordle Etymology The word “age” has its roots in the late Middle English period, derived from the Old French word “age,” meaning “age, life, lifetime, lifespan,” which in turn came from the Latin word “aetas,” meaning “period of life, age, lifetime, years. ” The Latin term “aetas” is related to “aevum,” which means “eternity, age, lifetime, epoch,” and is derived from the Proto-Indo-European root “*aiw-,” signifying “vital force, life, long life, eternity.
” This etymological journey reflects the word’s deep historical ties to the concepts of life, lifespan, and the passage of time. Over the centuries, “age” has evolved in use and connotation, but it has consistently denoted the idea of the duration or stage of life, as well as the aging process itself.
