It’s Wordle Wednesday, dearest Wordlers, which means I have an extra riddle for you. Here it is, a riddle Odin (it is Odin’s Day, after all) presented to King Heithrek:
“From home I hied me, and from home faring I saw a way of ways: Was a way beneath and a way above, and ways there were on all sides. Alright guess now this riddle, Heithrek!”
I’ll post the answer tomorrow. For now, let’s Wordle!

The SLIME was actually very effective in today’s game of Wordle Nickelodeon Slime Edition. Just 28 words left, though I didn’t know that at the time. I guessed ADORN next and later it occurred to me that perhaps ACORN would have been better. But it didn’t matter in the end. POSIT was the only possible answer remaining. Huzzah!
Just like yesterday, I get 1 point for guessing in three and 1 for beating the Bot. The Bot loses 1 for losing to me and gains none for guessing in four. The August tally is now:
“Posit” comes from Latin positus, the past participle of ponere, meaning “to place” or “to put.” It entered English in the 17th century with the sense of “to put forward” or “to assume as true,” especially as the basis for an argument or theory.
