Hints and clues to help solve today’s Wordle.
I’m not sure how it’s already the end of January. Just one more day after today and we’re one month down in 2023. That’s 1/12th of the way through the new year—poof! Just like that. Time flies when you’re having fun—but have we been having fun?
I suppose so. I had a nice weekend playing Pathfinder with friends and heading down into sunny Phoenix, AZ for a brief family reunion to celebrate my aunt’s 70th birthday. That was fun! I’ve also been working out a lot, trying to get healthier and lose some weight, and that’s fun, too—a good challenge is always fun, in my humble opinion.
That’s my credo for 2023. Challenge. I want to challenge myself to do more, to be better, to live cleaner, to achieve the things that I’ve been putting off for the last few years. To expand my horizons, to write more fiction, to read more books, to meet new people, to run races and go backpacking and get off my butt.
Oh, and to solve every single Wordle and beat the Bot as much as possible. Let’s do today’s!

Wordle Solution
I liked twine as a starting word even if I knew (or guessed, at least) that it wouldn’t be terrific. 226 remaining solutions really isn’t terrible, however, and I did get one green box out of it.
Score was much better, reducing that number to just 10 and adding two yellow boxes to the mix. At this point I thought of two possible words to guess: crave and curve, and I initially was going to go with crave but decided to live dangerously and throw a curve ball at today’s Wordle.
It was a mistake! I should have trusted my gut on this one. I would have had it in 3 guesses. A 3 would have gotten me 1 point; a 4 gets me zero. Fortunately, it took Wordle Bot five whole guesses today which gets me a +1 for a grand total of 1 huzzah. Huzzah!
Wordle Bot guessed slate / prick / crane / craze / crave which is funny. It’s almost like the Bot was guessing like a human today. It’s a bit out of character even. Oh well, I’ll take the win!
