Today's Wordle Breakdown
Ever wondered how I put these hints together? Head on over to Wordle Bot to help analyze your guessing game - I do it every day![2]
SHIRE was a good opening bet, leaving me 18 words in the bag. Knowing that all remaining words would be decipherable, I settled on a word packing three of the most common consonants: B, P, and T. It was BLEAT, but I could've guessed TRIPE earlier. Close, but no cigar!

Today's Wordle Etymology
Ah, the word TRIPE. A lovaaay sounding word with an unromantic history. "Guts" or "entrails" was what it originally meant when it plopped into English in the 14th century. But the slugs slithered their way into our language as slang for "nonsense."
