How to solve today’s Wordle.
Tuesday is just around the corner! One day closer to the weekend, although I look forward to the upcoming weekend with more dread than anticipation. We’re supposed to go into the mid-90s, which is both rare and a little frightening for a mountain town.
It’s not the heat itself that worries me. It’s just so hot and dry that the forests will be packed with tourists looking to escape even hotter climates. I have nothing against tourists, but sometimes outsiders just aren’t aware of the reality of a hot, dry forest and the utter devastation that a wildfire can bring to our homes. As much as I hate when they close the woods — I love hiking, and my dogs need hikes to stay healthy — a part of me is hoping they all close before the end of the week and be closed by the end of the week keep monsoons coming (which will hopefully happen soon).
It doesn’t take much to start a fire when it’s this hot and dry. Getting them out is a whole different matter. We saw some massive fires. The largest fire in Arizona history was the Wallow Fire in 2011, which burned 538,000 acres (841 square miles). In 2002, the Rodeo-Chediski fire burned 468,000 acres. The two fires — one started by a seasonal firefighter looking for extra work, the other by a stranded motorist in an accident — combined into an unstoppable inferno.
So pray for rain folks. pray for rain And in the meantime, let’s make this Wordle.

Wordle bot analysis
I had a really good feeling about today’s guessing game until I saw Wordle Bot double-tap as well. What a dirty little bird! my opening guess, Actor, flipped as many crates as Wordle Bot Slate, But there was one in green while mine were all yellow.
Still, we both guessed it (quite lucky) Earth On our second try, we turned every box green into grass for the win. I was sure I would beat the bot today, but No . . . .
Today’s score
Not a bad day by any means, with +2 points for guessing two. Still, zero is sad for the bot’s binding, and I’m sad. So very, very sad. A total of 2 points! Huzzah!
Present day Wordle etymology
The word “earth” has its origins in Old English and comes from the Germanic language family. The Old English word for “earth” was “eorthe” or “eorþe”. This term can be traced back to the Old Germanic word “*erþō” meaning “ground” or “soil”.
The Proto-Germanic word “*erþō” is related to similar words in other Germanic languages. For example, the Old Saxon word was “ertha”, the Old Norse word was “jǫrð” and the Gothic word was “airþa”. These related terms all have the same basic meaning of “earth” or “land”.
The Proto-Germanic word “*erþō” is believed to derive from the Proto-Indo-European root “*er-” or “*erǵ-“, meaning “to plow” or “to cultivate”. This connection suggests that the ancient term “earth” was strongly associated with the fertile land that was cultivated for agriculture.
Over time, the word “earth” has retained its fundamental meaning for the planet we live on and for the ground beneath our feet.
