Thursday's Wordle Solution #1419 Revealed: Clues and Guides for May 8th Challenge
Casual Wordle Hints and Solution for May 7thHey there, Wordle enthusiasts! Here's the lowdown on the answer for yesterday's Wordle puzzle, if you haven't solved it yet:
We had three boxes, with one containing treasures and at least one spewing out bullsh!t. Here's what each box claimed:
Black box: "The statement on the white box is bullsh!t."
White box: "Statements with the word 'white' are always bullsh!t."
Blue box: "The treasures are in the white box."
Now, let's get smart and find the location of those hidden prizes!
Note for the intellectual-curious:If the white box were telling the truth, then all boxes would be telling the truth, which wouldn't allow for at least one box to be a liar. So, of course, the white box is bending the truth.
Since the black box stated the white one was lying, that makes the black box a liar too. But we know at least one box must be truthful. So, it must be the blue box that's talking the truth, meaning the treasures are stashed in the white box.
Get ready to crack that Wordle and enjoy the game!

Let's get the party started with WASTE for some initial guessing. My five boxes soon got whittled down to 43 remaining options, with two yellow squares staring me in the face. For the second round, I went for uncommon letters and ended up with the less-common choice of CLOGS, cutting down the possibilities to a manageable four. With a little luck, I went with BALMY and, yes, I nailed it! Ta-da!
Competitive Wordle Points:
I scored 1 point for guessing in 3 and another adrenaline-pumped point for beating the AI. On the losing side, the AI got 0 for its delayed, four-guess Wordle and dropped a point for my triumph. The final score stands as:
Erik: 9 points
Wordle AI: 2 points

Wordle's "Balmy" Roots:
Curious about the roots of "balmy"? For those interested, "balmy" comes from the Middle English "balmi" which means fragrant and soothing. It is ultimately derived from the Latin "balsamum," also meaning remedy in the form of a fragrant resin or ointment. The suffix "-y" in "balmy" is used in English as a suffix for creating adjectives, indicating a quality or characteristic.
To sum it up, "balmy" is a word that signifies something satisfyingly fragrant, often speaking to warm and gentle weather or atmosphere [1][2]. This is consistent with the meaning you may attach to the word in the context of the Wordle game.
So, there you have it, folks! Settle your taste buds by tasting the distinction between "balmy" and the close British usage of "barmy." Have a marvelous day!
