Looking for Wednesday’s Wordle hints, clues and answer? You can find them here:
It’s Thor’s Day and quite lovely out. No thunder or lightning or storms of any kind. I’m fine with that. The God of Thunder can come back some other time.
Yesterday was Wordle Wednesday and, as I do every Wednesday, I gave you an extra riddle to solve on top of today’s Wordle. Today I’ll share the answer (which several of you messaged me correctly!). Here was the riddle:
Forward I am heavy, backwards I am not. What am I?
The answer is ton. Some folks said “not” was the answer, but it’s actually “ton” because “not” is “ton” backwards. And forwards, “ton” is heavy.
Alright, let’s do this Wordle!

Wordle Analysis
Every day I check Wordle Bot to see how I did. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
I was thinking of thread but it was too long for a Wordle so I lopped off the ‘H’ and guessed TREAD for my opening guess. Three yellow boxes suggested I was off to a good start. I still wanted that ‘H’ in there for whatever reason and guessed HASTE for my second guess. This plopped my ‘A’ in green but I still had a few words to choose from. Hastily, I looked over every FACET of the options spread out before me and guessed correctly: FACET for the win! Huzzah!

Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word “facet” comes from the French word “facette,” which is a diminutive form of “face,” meaning “little face.” This term entered the English language around the early 17th century. Originally, it referred to the small, polished surfaces of a cut gem. Over time, its usage expanded metaphorically to refer to various aspects or phases of a thing, mirroring the way different faces of a gem reflect light differently. The root of “face” in French can be traced back to the Latin “facies,” meaning “form, appearance, face,” which has also contributed to other English words related to appearances and surfaces.
