Pun Play: I WOODEN know.

My Gameplay:

I opened with PIOUS, reaching for something lofty, hoping a holy word would set the tone.

Only the I stuck, and even that was misplaced, wandering.

From there, I shifted to TRADE, a sturdy, everyday word.

That was the breakthrough—A and R fell right into their spots, glowing green like anchors.

Feeling like I needed a spark of music, I tried HYMNS.

But the harmony was off, and it didn’t bring me any closer to the truth.

Then came the clincher: CHAIR.

Each letter clicked perfectly, and the grid lit up with victory.

The puzzle was solved, and I was sitting firmly in the winner’s seat.

Have a terrific Thursday.  On to tomorrow!

Wordle Answer for 09/10/2025 (#1544): POUTY

POUTY

DEFINITIONETYMOLOGY

Pun Play: Place it in the lost & FROWNED.

My Gameplay: PIOUS, POUCH, POUND, POUTY

I opened today with PIOUS, trying to grab some common vowels and the sneaky “S” at the end.  Right away, the “P,” “O,” and “U” lit up green, but the “I” and “S” were out.  That gave me a strong backbone to work with.

Next, I tried POUCH, sliding in “C” and “H” to test some consonants.  The “P,” “O,” and “U” stayed locked, and now the “C” and “H” were no good.  Still, progress was steady.

I followed up with POUND, chasing the natural “ND” ending.  The grid responded with the first four letters locked in green, but the “D” was gray.  That meant I was one letter away from sealing it.

On the fourth line, I typed POUTY, and boom — everything snapped to green.  The puzzle was mine.

It felt like a sharp, decisive solve.  Each guess narrowed the path, no wasted detours, just a clean march from clue to victory.  A textbook example of tightening the vise until the answer had nowhere left to hide.

Have a wonderful Wednesday.  On to tomorrow!

Wordle Answer for 09/09/2025 (#1543): TRICK

TRICK

DEFINITIONETYMOLOGY

Pun Play: You’re FOOL of it, aren’t you?

My Gameplay: PIOUS, TRADE, TRICK

I opened with PIOUS, trying to test out a vowel spread and common consonants. It gave me nothing but a misfit “I,” dangling in the wrong spot. That clue was frustrating but at least narrowed the vowel placement.

Next, I leaned into TRADE, hoping to light up the board. Boom — three greens right out of the gate. “T,” “R,” and “A” locked perfectly into the front three slots. Now the ending just needed to be worked out.

With the shape “TRA__” in mind, I tested TRICK. The gamble paid off — four greens instantly, with “I,” “C,” and “K” all snapping into place. Only one letter remained to settle, but the skeleton of the word was solved.

The solve had unfolded with crisp logic: one misstep, one jackpot, and one cleanup guess. From a shaky start with PIOUS to the tight clincher with TRICK, the board told a tidy little story of narrowing the field. Have a terrific Tuesday. On to tomorrow!

My Gameplay: HYMNS, PHOTO, CHEAP, CHIRP

I opened with HYMNS, hoping to get some early consonant coverage, and it gave me an H to work with. From there I went with PHOTO, which kept that H alive but still out of place. On the third guess, CHEAP really lit things up — locking in the C, H, and P, while also revealing the R was hiding in the mix. That left the path pretty clear, and sure enough, my fourth guess CHIRP landed it. A clean four-step solve. Have a great start to your week. On to tomorrow!

Wordle Answer for 09/06/2025 (#1540): BULGE

BULGE

DEFINITIONETYMOLOGY

Pun Play: Do you HEFTY answers?

My Gameplay: PIOUS, WATER, FLUKE, UNCLE, BULGE

This puzzle stretched things out before snapping into place.  Early guesses didn’t quite narrow it down, but the letter “U” started guiding the way.  The appearance of “L” and “G” helped lock down the framework, and by the time “UNCLE” hit, the finish line was clear.  “BULGE” landed solid and satisfying in the fifth slot.  That’s the beauty of Wordle — a small swell of struggle followed by the release of the answer. Have a super Saturday. On to tomorrow!

Pun Play: Don’t let your focus drift—this one was right on track.

Gameplay: PIOUS, CLINK, DRIVE, DRIFT

Today’s Wordle started with a tough opener in PIOUS, revealing only a displaced “I.” Things sharpened with CLINK, showing the “R” and “I” in place. DRIVE closed in hard, leaving the last letter in question. Finally, DRIFT locked it down in style. The path was tight, and the solve felt smooth, almost inevitable by the end. TGIF—it’s always sweet when a Friday puzzle falls clean. Have a fantastic Friday. On to tomorrow!

BLEND

DEFINITIONETYMOLOGY

Pun Play: It wasn’t too MERGE trouble.

My Gameplay: PIOUS, HATER, JELLY, BLEED, BLEND.

Clean path today: PIOUS opened lanes and cleared duplicates. HATER lit up the E and narrowed vowels. JELLY confirmed the E and brought L into the mix. A probe with BLEED locked the front half and exposed the final consonant. From there, BLEND was the only snug fit for a tidy finish. Have a tantalizing Thursday. On to tomorrow!
