I'm not sure what word to choose to open with today. COVER? MOIST? LIWPD? Last one is obviously not a word, but just the first five keys that I typed at random. I decide to go with RELIC, breaking my recent trend of choosing one-vowel words. I'm rewarded for breaking my rules by getting yellows for the R,E, and I. No, this is not an ad for REI. They wouldn't pay me for a blog that averages... checks notes... zero views a day.
Anyways, PRIDE is a good second guess. I get the location of the R and I. E will now either go first or fourth. I don't think E will go at the start ERI-- doesn't really give a lot of options. Wow, the day the answer is EERIE is going to be hilarious. Thinking about the E in the fourth spot gives me TRIES. Cries and pries are out. Fries is a plural, so TRIES it is. TRIES is not the answer, but I do get confirmation that the E is fourth.
What is this word? Is it something obscure? I look around the remaining letters trying to think what the answer could be. I'm not seeing anything. Then I put a G in the front which leads me to GRIEF and the correct answer. A good word, even if it's a difficult emotion.
I'm not one of those Wordle players that views it as a horoscope, but the thing that I did right before playing this puzzle was read this Washington Post story about a Florida family that was forced to carry their child to term even though their child had rare disorder called Potter syndrome. It's a tough read and it deals with grief.
