Today’s Wordle #894 Hints, Clues And Answer For Thursday, November 30th

Not only is it Thor’s Day, it’s also the very last day of November. How crazy is that? We have just one month left of 2023. Somehow, this year slipped by in the blink of an eye. I’m not sure how to feel about it.

It’s also Worlde #894, which means we just have a few days before Wordle #900. Then Christmas, then New Year’s.

Yesterday was Wordle Wednesday and I gave you this mouthful of a logic puzzle:

If all Grumkins are Cloogies, all Blumprots are Dabbledoggers, no Puffpops are Blumprots, and all Cloogies are Blumprots, is it true that all Blumprots are Cloogies?

Answer: No. Just because all Cloogies are Blumprots does not mean all Blumprots are Cloogies, similar to how all Corgis are Dogs but not all Dogs are Corgis.

Okay, Wordle time!

Wordle Bot Analysis

After each Wordle I solve I head over to the Wordle Bot homepage to see how my guessing game was.

I got a bit lucky today, no doubt. I thought of prime as an opening guess because I’d just written about the upcoming Fallout TV series on Amazon Prime Video (which looks great!) and the word prime seemed like a good opening guess. It certainly was, leaving me with just 54 words to choose from.

Instinctively, I was about to type out ripen for my next guess but thankfully caught myself. The ‘P’ had already been used. Still, I was this far and thought of a word similar to it—risen—and plopped that in instead. I was very pleased with the outcome. The answer was obvious—all I had to do was flip the vowels around and I got resin on Guess #3. Huzzah!

Today’s Competitive Wordle Score

Just like yesterday, I get 1 point for guessing in three and zero for tying the Bot. 1 point is good!

Today’s Wordle Etymology

The word “resin” has its origins in the Latin language. It can be traced back to the Latin word “resina,” which referred to a substance obtained from various trees and plants, often used for its adhesive or medicinal properties. The term “resina” itself likely has even older roots in the ancient Greek language, as it is believed to have been borrowed from the Greek word “rhētinē,” which also referred to a similar resinous substance.

Resins are typically derived from the sap or sap-like substances of various trees and plants and have been used for various purposes throughout human history, including as adhesives, in the production of varnishes, for incense, and in traditional medicine. Over time, the term “resin” has come to be associated with a wide range of natural and synthetic substances that share similar properties, such as being sticky or having the ability to harden when exposed to air or heat.
