Today’s Wordle #649 Hints, Clues And Answer For Thursday, March 30th

Another day, another Wordle. It’s the second-to-last day of March which is pretty wild. I can’t believe how fast this year is flying by—and I’m not even having that much fun! That’s not to say I’m not having fun. I am! But I’ve toned down the fun significantly in 2023 in order to take care of my health and fitness and maybe, just maybe, get in good shape this decade.

Good physical shape is also good for your mind, and you need a sharp mind if you’re a word puzzle afficianado, whether you’re tackling the Crossword Puzzle, the Spelling Bee or the daily Wordle. The first two in that list are significantly harder, but I recommend checking both out on the New York Times website. If you’re not familiar with it, the Spelling Bee is basically a wicked challenging game where you try to make as many words as possible (of any length over 3 letters) out of a little honey comb of seven letters. Today’s looks like this:

The trick is that you must use the central letter in yellow (an O today). So some words in this Spelling Bee are:

And so on and so forth. It’s actually really, really tough. Those four are just the tip of the iceberg in terms of all the words stuck hiding in a Spelling Bee!

Alright, let’s take a crack at this Wordle!

Wordle Analysis

Every day when I’m done with my Wordle I go to the New York Times’ Wordle Bot website to run an analysis of my guessing game. That’s where I get the above screenshot each day. The Wordle Bot takes each guess and shows you how many words you’ve eliminated (or, rather, how many remain). It tallies your performance and offers up suggestions about what you could have done better. It helps you up your game, and I always play competitively against the Bot to see if I can outguess it. Okay, let’s take a look!

Wordle #646 Analysis

Not much to analyze in today’s Wordle. I guessed braid because it popped into my head and had some common letters, a couple vowels and seemed like a half-decent starting word. I had no idea it would bring my remaining solutions down to just 2.

Funny thing is, I didn’t even think about broad—the other possible solution—my mind went directly to bread. To be fair, bread and broads are two of the best things in the world, so either would have made a great guess, but I guess I’m a foodie first and a lover second, which explains a lot about me.

In any case, I got it in two—huzzah! That’s 2 points for guessing in 2, and 1 point for beating Wordle Bot who got the answer in three today. 3 points! That’s what I call a win!

ChatGPT’s Etymology Lesson

I asked the AI chat bot ChatGPT to explain the etymology of today’s word. Here’s the answer:

The word “beset” comes from the Old English word “besettan,” which is a combination of the prefix “be-” (meaning “around” or “about”) and the verb “settan” (meaning “to set” or “to place”). Thus, “beset” originally meant “to set or place around” something. Over time, the meaning of the word evolved to include the sense of being surrounded or besieged by something, as well as being troubled or afflicted by difficulties or problems.
