Things started off poorly with SPIRE. I had 156 words remaining (it could be much worse!) and just one yellow box (it could be much better). ADMIN shuffled things around and cut that number to just 8. I guessed TUNIC because I always liked tunics, which I viewed as a youngster as an essential piece of Medieval apparel. Knights wore tunics! Huzzah!

Competitive Wordle Score

I get one point for guessing in 3 and zero points for tying the Wordle Bot. I’ll take a point after many days of nothing!
