Bloody Sunday. It’s a song, although not entirely happy, but I want to publish it here today because it is definitely one of U2’s best.

I admit, I’m not a huge U2 fan, but some of their songs are really great. Do you have any favorite U2 songs?

Alright, let’s do this Wordle!

Wordle Analysis

Every day I check Wordle Bot to help me analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.


Similar word to yesterday’s, starting and ending with two consonants and only one vowel in the middle. I got today’s right in just three, too, thank goodness. CLOSE was surprisingly good, leaving me with only four words to choose from. I guessed SCENT because a couple of the options I came up with had “SC” at the beginning, and the only other word I could think of, SPECK, also had a “C.” I wish I had guessed it myself, but it just didn’t make sense, you know?

Wordle Competitive Score

Once again, I get 1 point for getting three right and 0 for getting the Bot right. I’ll keep it!

Etymology of today’s Wordle

The word “speck” comes from the Old English term “spek”, meaning “small spot, blemish, blemish”. This term probably comes from Proto-Germanic *spekka-, a term used to describe small particles or specks. The word has related forms in other Germanic languages, such as Middle Low German “spekke” and Middle Dutch “specke”, both meaning “spot” or “speck”. Over time, the word evolved to mean any small particle or dot, while retaining its connotation of something tiny or insignificant.
