Since today is Thor’s day, we have to remember yesterday – Wordle Wednesday – before we get to today’s Wordle. Every Wednesday I give out an additional riddle, a brain teaser or a logic puzzle that you, dear Wordlers, have to solve to keep it a bit more exciting. On Thursday I will reveal the answer. I borrowed this week’s riddle from Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, which I attended on Broadway last weekend.
Here was the riddle:
The first is the fourth, a disappointing mark
You will find it in the parked position, but not in park.
The second is the more unjust among those who walk on two legs.
Dirty, hairy, a disease of the egg.
And the third point is both a mountain to climb and a path to take.
A turn in the city, a glide over a lake.
The answer:
The first is the fourth, a disappointing mark
You can find it in the parkEd. but not in the park.
The fourth letter of the alphabet is “D,” which means “a bad grade” in school. The puzzle also contains both letters we need in the second sentence, but in the wrong order.
The second is the more unjust among those who walk on two legs.
Dirty, hairy, a disease of the egg.
Women are considered the “fairer sex,” so the less beautiful in this context are “men.” “Disease of the egg” is a bit harsh, Hermione!
And the third point is both a mountain to climb and a path to take.
A turn in the city, a glide over a lake.
This describes Tours However, you have to be somewhat phonetically flexible when solving the puzzle.
D + MEN + TOURS = Dementors, the scary flying ghosts that can suck your spirit if you don’t fight back with a Patronus. In Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, There were quite a few Dementors, including some that flew over the audience.
Okay, Wordle time!

Wordle Analysis
Every day I check Wordle Bot to analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot. right here.
Not bad! I thought of POWER because The Rings of Power and it went much better than I expected. I was also lucky because I didn’t expect a “W” to appear and I don’t usually use that as an opening salvo.
TWEED was another guess I wasn’t entirely sure about, but I had recently spoken to a guy in NYC who was wearing a nice tweed jacket, so I went with that. Lucky me! At this point, there was only one word left: WIDEN, that’s the win!

Today’s Wordle etymology
The word expand comes from Middle English and derives from the Old English word wīdanwhich means “to become wide” or “to make wide”. The root wīd in Old English means “wide” or “far” and is related to similar words in other Germanic languages, such as Dutch wijd and German farboth mean “wide”.
The suffix -en was often added to adjectives in Old English and Middle English to form verbs that signify the quality of the adjective “make” or “become”. In this case broad (adjective) is expand (verb) means “to make something wider” or “to become wider”.
