Not bad today. SLATE wasn’t great but it wasn’t awful. With 60 words left and a green box, I chose Geralt’s horse for my second guess: ROACH slashed that down to three and then I picked yet another video game—KNACK—for my third and, as it happens, final guess. Twas the Wordle! Almost like I have a knack for this game!

Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word “knack” originates from the Middle English word knak (14th century), meaning “a sharp sound.” Its meaning evolved to refer to “a clever or adroit trick or device” by the 16th century. The term likely has Scandinavian roots, related to Old Norse knakkr, meaning “small hump or projection,” suggesting something distinct or skillfully done.
