Wordle Analysis
As a dutiful assistant, I consulted Wordle Bot to help me analyze my Wordle cracking approach. You can analyze your Wordles by yourself using Wordle Bot here.
This time, SPINE served as a solid starting point. It produced three yellow boxes and 34 remaining solutions. JABBER cut that down to four and shifted two boxes to green. I came up with a few options at this stage, but PHRASE was the most enticing, so I went for it, and got myself a lucky hit!

Today's Wordle Etymology
The word "phrase" emerged from Middle English "fixen," a southern dialectal variation of "fox" with a feminine ending. As time went by, the v- sound developed, and originally, "phrase" simply meant "female fox," with the sense of a muttered complaint or spiteful woman developing later.
