What do you read, m’lord? Wordles! Wordles! Wordles!

Do you know me, m’lord? Excellent well, you are a fishmonger!

Actually, Hamlet’s famous response to Polonius—words, words, words—is also the title of a very funny short play that I directed when I was in high school. It’s about three chimpanzees—named Milton, Swift and Kafka—who’ve been placed in a room with typewriters. The scientists doing the experiment theorize that given enough time they’ll replicate Shakespeare’s famous tragedy. It’s silly but makes for a great gag with some very witty dialogue, especially for fans of the Bard.

The play was written by David Ives for his collection of One Act plays titled All In The Timing, which I highly recommend to any thespians out there. Lots of good stuff in there.

I am a thespian at heart, a writer by trade. This stuff is my jam.

Wordle is my bread and butter. Let’s do this!

Today’s Wordle Solution (Spoilers!)

The Hint: The way you say most things.

The Clue: There are more vowels than consonants in this word.

The Answer:

So I lost to Wordle Bot today. He got his in three. I felt pretty good about four, but I should have guessed something else for my second guess instead of using the ‘L’ where I knew it went already. Wordle Bot suggests atone which certainly would have ruled out aloft. Then I might have nabbed this in three.

Or I might have guessed aloha since we were talking about Hawaiian food at dinner yesterday. Who knows?

The sad thing is, claim knocked my possible guesses all the way down to 32, and alone brought that number down to just four. But atone would have brought it down to three, and that might have made all the difference.

Still, aloud in four isn’t half bad. I’ll give myself a half-hearted huzzah just to make myself feel better. Huzzah. No exclamation mark allowed.
