Looking for Friday’s Wordle hints, clues and answer? You can find them here:
The weekend has arrived, and it looks like we’re in for some nice weather leading into Thanksgiving week.

Of course, by Turkey Day that high will have fallen twenty degrees, but that’s just a good excuse to stay inside and play cards, eat good food and watch a football game or two.
For now, 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.
Well, I certainly wasn’t as lucky today as I was yesterday, but I did my level best. My opening guess comes from a curious place. I recently penned my review of the new Netflix series A Man On The Inside, and in that show the main character (played by Ted Danson) is reading Smiley’s People by John le Carré. I guess the ‘smile’ part stuck in my head, and it was a decent enough starting word, though the rest of my guesses left something to be desired. BREAD, in particular, was not a great second guess and definitely set me back. NEWLY slashed the remaining 5 possible solutions down to just one, however: JELLY for the win! Peanut butter jelly time! Peanut butter jelly time!
