Once again, I guessed PEARL for my opening guess. I actually forgot I’d guessed that yesterday. I must be obsessed or something. The reason I guessed DRAWN for my second guess is related, and has to do with the Avett Brothers’ song I Wish I Was, which is lovely, and you can listen to it below:

Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word “drawn” comes from the Old English word dragan, which means “to pull” or “to drag.” This verb, dragan, has roots in Proto-Germanic draganą, which also means “to drag” or “to pull.” The Proto-Indo-European root is dher-, meaning “to hold” or “to support.”
Over time, the meaning of “drawn” evolved in English to include various senses, such as “to make a picture by pulling a pen across a surface” and “to be pulled” or “to be drawn in” in different contexts. The past participle form “drawn” reflects these extended meanings.
