It’s Monday and we’re off to the races. Winter 2025 is here, and for much of the country that means snow, snow and more snow. Blizzards and storms rage across the country. Just not here in my mountain town, where it’s certainly gotten cooler—but the white fluffy stuff remains elusive.
That’s a shame, even if it is nicer weather. We need that moisture or the forests will burn. A dry winter leaves me filled with anxiety. Please send some of your blizzards out west!
In the meantime, we have a Wordle to solve . . . .

Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
I guessed BRAVE for two reasons. First, I’ve just seen actress Kelly MacDonald in two different things: No Country For Old Men and the latest episodes of Star Wars: Skeleton Crew. She’s the voice actor for Merida from the Pixar movie, Brave. This left me with 140 remaining possible solutions. CHOIR cut that down to 5 and RIGID slashed it down to just one: SPRIG for the win!
Competitive Wordle Score
A total wash today. 0 points for guessing in four and 0 points for tying the Bot. Big fat ZERO.

Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word “sprig” originates from Middle English (first recorded in the 15th century), likely derived from the Old Norse word “spriggr”, meaning a small branch or twig. It is related to “sprout” and “spring”, reflecting growth and new shoots. The term evolved to refer to small shoots, twigs, or decorative branches.
