Looking for Saturday’s Wordle hints, clues and answer? You can find them here:
Sunday, lazy Sunday. I always call it that, but I rarely take my own advice. I’ve been pairing up OrangeTheory fitness classes—high intensity interval training—with hot yoga flow classes, which are among the most challenging workouts I’ve ever done. This is a bit of madness on my part, but the fact remains that if I go without exercise I do go mad—or rather I get down in the dumps quite severely, and that’s no good.
But I do intend to be lazy at some point in the day. After working out and working and taking care of the kids and the dogs and the house. Then lazy Sunday, here we go! There are plenty of shows and video games to enjoy, after all.
Since it’s the weekend, I must point you to my weekend streaming guide. There’s actually a ton of new stuff out, and some of it looks quite excellent. Let me know if you’ve been watching any good movies or TV shows lately, or if you’ve read any good books. I also just reviewed Lev Grossman’s new Arthurian novel, The Bright Sword, so if you’re looking for a great new read, check out my review.
Let’s solve this Wordle!

Wordle Analysis
Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
This went quite well for me, and I have all the chores I’m saddled with to thank for that. CHORE left me with two green boxes and one yellow and just 16 remaining possible solutions. DRONE slashed that down to just one: PRONE for the win!
Competitive Wordle Score
I get 1 point for guessing in three and promptly lose it again because the stupid, evil Wordle Bot guessed in just two somehow. Lucky bot!

Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word “prone” comes from Latin, you see,
Pronus means “leaning forward” with glee.
If you’re lying face down,
On the ground or in town,
You’re prone, like the root, naturally!
