Looking for Saturday’s Wordle hints, clues and answer? You can find them here:
Well folks, we’ve come to the last Sunday of April. It snowed up here in the mountains this weekend, but it looks like we’re getting back to springtime weather this coming week. May is upon us, and soon it’ll be June.
This summer, my daughter turns 17, my son turns 14 and I turn 43. Given my general lack of maturity and refusal to grow up, that feels a whole lot older than I actually feel (aching back, stiff neck and other physical maladies notwithstanding).
Forever young, I say. Play games and do the fun things you love as much as you can for as long as you can.
Like today’s Wordle, for instance!

The Answer:
Wordle Analysis
Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
Today’s guessing game was a bit frustrating, if only because I came so close by guess #2 but still couldn’t stick the landing until #4.
SPATE left me with just 29 words left, and I probably should have gone for eliminating all new letters at this point but I chose, instead, to juggle the ‘P’ and leave the ‘E’ and see if the PRICE was right.
Alas, I was too hasty, or perhaps too PROUD, and it wasn’t until I PRUNED away my fourth guess that I got the Wordle.
Competitive Wordle Score
I get 0 points for guessing in four and -1 for losing to the Bot. Lame!
How To Play Competitive Wordle
Guessing in 1 is worth 3 points; guessing in 2 is worth 2 points; guessing in 3 is worth 1 point; guessing in 4 is worth 0 points; guessing in 5 is -1 points; guessing in 6 is -2 points and missing the Wordle is -3 points.
If you beat your opponent you get 1 point. If you tie, you get 0 points. And if you lose to your opponent, you get -1 point. Add it up to get your score. Keep a daily running score or just play for a new score each day.
Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word “prune” comes from the Old French word “prune,” which itself is derived from the Latin word “prunum,” meaning plum. This Latin term is likely connected to the Greek word “proumnon,” also referring to a plum. In English, “prune” initially referred to the dried plum fruit and over time, it also came to be associated with the act of trimming or cutting back plants or trees, metaphorically similar to removing parts of the fruit tree to enhance growth or fruit production.
