How to solve today’s Wordle.
Looking for Friday Wordle Hints, Clues and Answer? You can find them here.
Saturn Day is here. The Roman god of time, generation, dissolution, abundance, wealth, agriculture, periodic renewal and liberation ruled a Golden Age of peace and prosperity according to legend.
After the Romans conquered Greece, Saturn and the Greek Titan Saturn became somewhat interchangeable. Cronus was the leader of the Titans and descendant of Gaia and Uranus (Mother Earth and Father Uranus) and also ruled a Golden Age, until he was overthrown by his son Zeus and imprisoned.
Saturn was celebrated by the Romans during the Saturnalia festival. But he too was overthrown by his son, Zeus, after he began the nasty habit of eating his own children to prevent this very fate.
Don’t eat your children! That’s the moral of this story.
Okay, let’s make this Wordle.

Wordle analysis
Every day I check the Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
Things got off to a rough start. MUSIC-which I chose because I was watching some Eurovision song contest while writing this weekend’s streaming guide—it left me with 367 possible solutions. Ouch!
Gratefully, trade reduced that number to just 1, and soon enough I figured it out. Tidal for the win!
Competitive Wordle Score
I get 1 point for guessing in three and 0 for tying the Bot, same as yesterday.
How to play Competitive Wordle
Guessing at 1 is worth 3 points. Guessing in 2 is worth 2 points. Guessing in 3 is worth 1 point. Guessing on 4 is worth 0 points. Guessing in 5 is -1 points. Guessing 6 is -2 marks and missing the Wordle is -3 marks.
If you beat your opponent you get 1 point. If you tie, you get 0 points. And if you lose to your opponent, you get -1 point. Add it up to get your score. Keep a daily running score or just play for a new score every day.
Today’s Wordle etymology
The word ‘tidal’ comes from the Old English word “tīdal”, which is formed from “tīd” meaning “time” or “tide” and the suffix “-al”, which is used to form adjectives. The Old English ‘tīd’ refers both to the concept of time and to the periodic rise and fall of the sea. Therefore, “tidal” is of or affected by the tides, linking back to the natural phenomena of the movements of the sea in relation to time.
