Well I don’t know about you but I’m ready for a lazy Sunday. Yesterday I did a DriTri at OrangeTheory yesterday that absolutely destroyed me. It’s a 2,000 meter row, 300 bodyweight exercises (pushups, squats, burpees etc) and a 5k run on the treads. A “dry triathlon” basically. It was hard, but I did it!
Then I was basically fried the rest of the day and I’m determined to get some rest this Sunday. I have a couple good shows to watch which are out this weekend—Succession on HBO and Yellowjackets on Showtime/Paramount—and the Diablo IV beta to play.
But for now, let’s do this Wordle!
So let’s do it!

Wordle Analysis
Every day when I’m done with my Wordle I go to the New York Times’ Wordle Bot website to run an analysis of my guessing game. That’s where I get the above screenshot each day. The Wordle Bot takes each guess and shows you how many words you’ve eliminated (or, rather, how many remain). It tallies your performance and offers up suggestions about what you could have done better. It helps you up your game, and I always play competitively against the Bot to see if I can outguess it. Okay, let’s take a look!
Wordle #645 Analysis
Things started out a bit rough today. Ready left me with a whopping 267 remaining possible solutions which isn’t great, but shine helped polish most of those off. From here, I guessed niece which took that number down to just 1, and untie was the only possible choice. That’s four guesses for zero points and a tie with Wordle Bot for another zero points for a total of . . . zero points! Huzzah!
ChatGPT’s Etymology Lesson
I asked the AI chat bot ChatGPT to explain the etymology of today’s word. Here’s the answer:
The word ‘untie’ comes from the Old English word ‘untigan’, which means ‘to unfasten, release, or undo’. The prefix ‘un-‘ means ‘not’ or ‘the opposite of’, while the root word ‘tigan’ means ‘to tie or bind’. Over time, the Old English word ‘untigan’ evolved into the Middle English word ‘untien’, and eventually into the modern English word ‘untie’. The word ‘tie’ itself comes from the Old English word ‘teogan’, which has the same meaning as the modern English word ‘tie’. So, in essence, ‘untie’ means ‘to unfasten something that was previously tied or bound’.
I’d love it if you gave me a follow on Twitter or Facebook dearest Wordlers. Cheers!
