BUGGY

DEFINITION — ETYMOLOGY

Pun Play: For some, the remaining letters probably made NUISANCE at all!

My Gameplay: SWEAT, DRINK, MOGUL, BUGGY

If I had to guess, I’d say most people will either solve this in six tries, or not at all. That’s just my two cents even though you never asked. It all due respect though, the Wordle solution on Friday has been a bit trickier and we should’ve known it was coming. All of the letters in the solution, sans the Y if all the other vowels didn’t work, were not my typical choices. YMMV. The way I solved today’s was when the L in MOGUL didn’t work. I was checking for an -LY suffix which didn’t end up being there. I knew the U wouldn’t be in the first or last spot so I assumed it’d be UG. Here’s where it get’s interesting. The focus of today’s Jumble cartoon puzzle just happened to be about mosquitoes so I still had bugs on my brain. No pain in the neck for me. On to tomorrow!
