WORDLE 498 (10/30) ***SPOILER THREAD***

[William Seger]

Wordle 498 2/6

⬜🟨🟨🟩⬜ SLATE
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 WALTZ

NYT average: 4.4
WordleBot: 2 (SLATE WALTZ)

I decided to play WordleBot's starting word today, and ended up with exactly the same result: 3 possibilities remaining, and I picked the right one! (I thought MALTY might be one, although less likely than WALTZ, but I never would have guessed LAITY as being common enough to make the list.)

16. Tough luck not getting 2, but look at the bright side

It was a bad day to start with anything other than SLATE!

[femmedem]

21. So true!

Placing that t early was everything.

The only starter word that could have been better was waltz!

I was going to start with MIT’s SALET but we have company in town and didn’t want to have to explain it. It’s a long story. They live in Empty Greene’s district.

29. What Kind Of Word Is CRWTH?....nt

[Nittersing]

31. Helpful for sorting out consonants

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/crwth

Crwth, which comes to us from Welsh, is the name for an ancient Celtic instrument that is similar to a violin. In Middle English, the instrument's name was spelled crouth before metamorphosing to crowd, a word still used in some dialects of England to refer to a violin. Crwth can also refer to a swelling or bulging body, and we can speculate that it came to be used for the instrument because of the violin's bulging form. Other Celtic words for the violin also have meanings referring to rounded shapes. In Irish, for example, cruit can mean "harp" or "violin" as well as "hump" or "hunch."

Kudos to you for posting anyway. It's less fun here if people only post their luckiest/most skillful efforts.
