The weekend has come and gone and October is already feeling like it’s in a hurry to get us to Halloween. I’m hoping for a spooky Wordle on the 31st, but I bet it’s something boring like “split”.
It’s been a lovely, rainy weekend and it looks like another week of perfect weather is on the way. Highs hovering between 68 and 72. Lows dipping down out of the 40s at night. Scraps of rain, plenty of sunshine. Is there a better time of year than early October? Can we just have this all year round?
Alas, all good things must come to an end and soon enough winter will grip us in its icy embrace. For now, let’s do this Wordle!

Wordle Bot Analysis
After each Wordle I solve I head over to the Wordle Bot homepage to see how my guessing game was.
Another three-guess Wordle for your humble narrator. Spore didn’t do much for me, but chair narrowed the field from 143 to just 1. It took me a bit to figure out what that was, but eventually truth set me free. Huzzah!
Today’s Score
I get 1 point for guessing in three, but I tied the Bot so zero points there. 1 point total and I’ll take it!
Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word “truth” has its origins in Old English and can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic word *trawwaz, which meant “faith” or “faithfulness.” This word, in turn, is related to the Proto-Indo-European root *deru- or *dreu-, which meant “steadfast” or “firm.”
Over time, the meaning of “truth” evolved in English to refer to something that is in accordance with fact or reality, free from falsehood or deception. The concept of truth has been a fundamental and central idea in philosophy, language, and human thought for centuries, with various cultures and philosophical traditions developing their own understandings and interpretations of truth.
