Yesterday it basically rained all day. We’ve gone from snow in abundance and a veritable winter wonderland, to grey soggy skies and mud. At least the snow is melting, and the rain is peaceful. It’s just the wet and cold I’m tired of. I need a beach, pronto. If you have one laying around, feel free to send it here. Postage might be a bit steep on an entire beach—which must be packaged with nearby ocean as well—but I’ll pay you back.
The Wordling continues apace, as per usual, and today’s word is kind of fun. I’ve been writing these Wordle guides now for over a year, almost every single day. I admit, this means that sometimes I run out of things to say up here in the flavor text section and I start to ramble. Sometimes I even mention how I’ve run out of things to say, and then get self-conscious about that and comment on how I’ve just written about running out of things to say.
It’s a Russian doll moment we’re having right now, folks. Layers upon layers upon layers.
In any case, let’s do this Wordle!
How To Solve Today’s Wordle
The Hint: A buzzy way to do crushed fruit.
The Clue: This word has more consonants than vowels.
The Answer (Spoilers):

I got lucky today. I also made a pretty egregious bungle. The combination balanced out and gave me a tie with Wordle Bot today at four guesses.
Things started out alright with bogie, a fun word that contains three vowels which worked out well since it gave me both ‘I’ and ‘E’ in yellow. At this point, it would have been wiser to try rearranging those with a new word like diner, but I guessed tubas to cross off the rest of the vowels. In hindsight, an ‘IE’ combo was probably going to be all the vowels already.
156 remaining solutions only fell to 100 after my second guess—one of the worst drops I’ve ever had. Plier only cut that number down to 18. Here’s where my luck finally kicked in.
Despite not even liking cider very much, it just happened to be the first word I came up with. I knew there would be lots of others but I thought one’s as good as the next and went with it. Much to my astonished surprise, it was the right answer! Huzzah!
No points today, however. Four guesses = zero points as does a Wordle Bot tie. Oh well! Better than losing!
