Today’s Wordle

Every day I check the Wordle Bot to see how I did. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
For the third day in a row, today’s Wordle has only one vowel, and for the third day in a row, that vowel is “I.” Coincidence? I think not!
Of course, today’s has moved the “I” from box 3 to box 2. What a shocking twist!
I didn’t think this trend would continue, so I guessed crate and returned with a single yellow ‘C’. I found out later that this wasn’t so bad. I only had 64 words to choose from. Disco (see video above haha) cut that number down to 5. Unfortunately, all the words I could think of ended up in the same four letters. I tried pinch first, but a little voice in my head was chirping “Finch! Finch!” so I guessed that next and finally got the Wordle.

Today’s Wordle etymology
The word “finch” comes from Old English “finc”, a term closely related to words in other Germanic languages, such as Old High German “finko” and Dutch “vink”. This term is used to describe small birds, especially those belonging to the Fringillidae family. The origin of these German words is not entirely clear, but it is believed that they may be onomatopoeic, imitating the distinctive call of these birds. The term is in use before the 12th century, retaining a relatively consistent form and meaning over the centuries, referring primarily to small, conical-billed, seed-eating birds common in Europe and many parts of the world.
