Alas, it is April Fool\u2019s Day. A day built on lies! Lies and pranks! Occasionally there are clever articles and funny jokes, but I\u2019m already overwhelmed by the amount of propoganda and nonsense out there that we\u2019re fed on a daily basis, so my patience with this kind of thing is just not what it once was. Shakes fist at clouds. Yells at children to get off his lawn. Curmudgeonly, perhaps, but I am what I am and that\u2019s all that I am. In any case, it\u2019s also Wordle Wednesday, so here\u2019s your April 1 riddle:<\/p>\n

How To Solve Today\u2019s WordleHow To Play Wordle<\/p>\n

Wordle is a daily word puzzle game where your goal is to guess a hidden five-letter word in six tries or fewer. After each guess, the game gives feedback to help you get closer to the answer:<\/p>\n

Green: The letter is in the word and in the correct spot.Yellow: The letter is in the word, but in the wrong spot.Gray: The letter is not in the word at all.<\/p>\n

Use these clues to narrow down your guesses. Every day brings a new word, and everyone around the world is trying to solve the same puzzle. Some Wordlers also play Competitive Wordle against friends, family, the Wordle Bot or even against me, your humble narrator. See rules for Competitive Wordle toward the end of this post.<\/p>\n

STARE was pretty unlucky today, and LOGIC \u2014 however logical a second guess \u2014 only slashed the 320 words I had left down to 23. UNIFY did the trick, however, leaving me with just one remaining word: FIZZY for the win! Huzzah!<\/p>\n
