How to solve today’s Wordle.
Looking for Saturday Wordle clues, hints and answers? You can find them here:
It’s the last Sunday of summer, Wordlers. Try to enjoy this last week of the season. Next up is fall! I love fall, but I feel like it doesn’t last as long as all the others. In many ways, for me at least, fall ends when Halloween is over. November feels more like a completely different season. December feels like winter. We need more than four seasons to describe everything. Summer, fall, gloom, winter, spring. Something like that.

Wordle Analysis
Every day I check Wordle Bot to analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot. right here.
I chose PINES as my first guess because the local bluegrass festival is named after our beautiful ponderosa forest and is happening this weekend. Unfortunately, it wasn’t a great opener, leaving me with 347 words to choose from. CRATE whittled that down to just 5 and honestly would have been a far better first guess. Oh well! DECOR was the first thing that came to mind at that point, and Wordle Bot said I should have chosen DECRY instead. Still, I only had one possible answer at that point: RECUR as the winner!
Competitive Wordle Score
0 points for guessing in four and -1 for losing to the bot that only managed to guess in three today. Sigh.

Today’s Wordle etymology
The word “recur” comes from the Latin recurringwhich means “to run back” or “to return”. It consists of the prefix Re- (“again” or “back”) and Course (“run”). The term came into Middle English via Old French and retained the meaning of something that recurs or happens repeatedly.
