Although we typically handle this on Thursdays, a little misstep pushed it to today. Without further ado, here is the clue in poetic form:
The solution? Trees. Astoundingly, there are about 3 trillion trees on Earth, a number that far exceeds the stars in our Milky Way, which range between 100 and 400 billion. Nevertheless, that’s still an impressive star count!

How To Play Wordle
Wordle is a daily word puzzle game where your goal is to guess a hidden five-letter word in six tries or fewer. After each guess, the game gives feedback to help you get closer to the answer:
- Green: The letter is in the word and in the correct spot.
- Yellow: The letter is in the word, but in the wrong spot.
- Gray: The letter is not in the word at all.
Use these clues to narrow down your guesses. Every day brings a new word, and everyone around the world is trying to solve the same puzzle. Some Wordlers also play Competitive Wordle against friends, family, the Wordle Bot or even against me, your humble narrator. See rules for Competitive Wordle toward the end of this post.

Wordle Bot Analysis
Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordle score with Wordle Bot right here.
SPARE was a pretty lousy opening guess, leaving me with 354 words and all grey boxes. LINGO got me a green “I” but only cut my possible solutions to 22. Thankfully, DITTY left me with just two and I could only think of one — DIZZY, while DIVVY was the other option at this pin
Competitive Wordle Score

The Bot and I each get 0 for guessing in four and 0 for tying so we don’t get to multiply any points and we end the day with the same numbers as before.
Erik: 18 points
Wordle Bot: 3 point

- Guessing in 1 is worth 3 points; guessing in 2 is worth 2 points; guessing in 3 is worth 1 point; guessing in 4 is worth 0 points; guessing in 5 is -1 points; guessing in 6 is -2 points and missing the Wordle is -3 points.

Today’s Wordle Etymology
Dizzy comes from Old English dysig “foolish, stupid,” from Proto-Germanic *dūsīgaz “dull, foolish.” The sense shifted in Middle English from “mentally confused” to the modern “light-headed, unsteady.”
