Another unlucky day for your humble narrator. TOUCH wasn’t even that bad, leaving me with a green O and 221 remaining solutions. Unfortunately, FLYER only slashed that down to 26, though I did get a yellow Y. DOWNY narrowed my choices to just two: MOODY and GOODY and I went with the one I thought most likely. Unfortunately, I was wrong. Oof.

Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word goody originates from the Middle English gode or godi, meaning “good,” which itself comes from the Old English gōd. The term has had various meanings over time:
- In the 16th–18th centuries, goody (short for goodwife) was used as a respectful or familiar title for a married woman of lower social standing.
- By the 18th century, goody took on the meaning of a treat or something desirable, likely from the idea of “good things.”
- The modern sense of goody-goody as a self-righteously virtuous person emerged in the 19th century, extending from the notion of someone always behaving “good.”
What a goody two-shoes!
