Ironically, CLUES was quite a good guess, leaving me with only 8 possible solutions and giving me two green boxes and a yellow. I still went for mostly new letters with my second guess, SPRIG, and that left me with two possible choices, though I could only think of one: SLUSH. Lucky for me it wasn\u2019t SLUNK! <\/p>\n

It\u2019s the first of the month so we start with a clean slate. The Wordle Bot and I tied with 21 points this July, which is like five thousand times the score of your average soccer game. Very exciting stuff. Today we tie again, starting out August with 1 point for me and 1 point for the Bot since we each guessed in three, and 0 for tying.<\/p>\n

Erik: 1 point<\/p>\n

Wordle Bot: 1 point<\/p>\n

\u201cSlush\u201d is probably of Scandinavian origin, related to Norwegian dialect slusk and similar words meaning \u201cmud, slop, or melted snow.\u201d It entered English in the 17th century to describe partially melted snow or watery, muddy mixtures, and later developed figurative senses such as \u201cslush fund\u201d and \u201cslush pile.\u201d<\/p>\n
