How to solve today’s Wordle.
Looking for Saturday Wordle Hints, Clues and Answer? You can find them here:
It’s strange that Monday the 13th is just a normal day, but if today were Friday the 13th it would be considered unlucky (and bring to mind horror movies, black cats, curses, etc.)
I find this particularly strange given that we all look forward to Friday much more than Monday. If any day of the week is unlucky, Monday should be it—especially given its close association with the moon.
Anyway, it’s Monday and we’re almost halfway through May. The school year is almost over. Summer is coming!
Let’s 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.
Well, I sure got lucky today! I guessed chain because I was thinking about Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd Edition and the THAC0 mechanic (which stands for “To Hit Amor Class 0”) and the various types of Armor Class (AC) you can have. At first I was going to guess armor but I didn’t like the two R’s so I went with an armor type, chain, although plate would also be a good opener.
Chain was as close to perfect as you can get, though, leaving me with only one possible solution: cumin for guess #2 and the Wordle! Huzzah!
Competitive Wordle Score
I get 2 points for guessing two and 1 point for beating Wordle Bot, who guessed three today.

Today’s Wordle etymology
The word “cumin” comes from the Latin “cuminum”, which was borrowed from the Greek “kyminon”. This Greek term probably derives from the earlier Semitic root, which can be traced back to the Akkadian “kamūnu”. The term has been widely borrowed into various languages, indicating the spice’s ancient and widespread use in cooking and medicine in various cultures.
