Today’s Wordle #804 Hints, Clues And Answer For Friday, September 1st

It’s September, now that the months of Julius Caesar and Augustus Caesar are behind us. Once upon a time this was the seventh month of the year, with the Romans beginning their year in March. Two months were added for the aforementioned emperors and later, the start of the year was changed when two more months were added—January and February—to what was once just winter, with no months at all.

I actually like the idea of starting the year in March, when winter ends and spring begins. I like the idea of a monthless winter as well. A time of slumber and forgetfulness, when the cold and dark enshrouds us and we hunker down and wait for a new year to blossom.

In any case, this is Friday also which means it’s 2XP for you competitive Wordlers. Let’s see how we all fare, shall we?

Wordle Bot Analysis

After each Wordle I solve I head over to the Wordle Bot homepage to see how my guessing game was.

Bangarang! Another two-fer for yours truly today. I was about to guess train for my opener and then I thought “No, let’s do something closer to Wordle Bot’s favorite guess, slate but not slate, because that’s boring.” I pondered a while and then picked scare and lo an behold what a wondrous sight! Three green boxes and one yellow and the answer was immediately obvious: Space was the only word left to choose from. Huzzah!

P.S. I can’t help but feel that today’s word is no accident given the Super Moon last night. But who knows? There are cosmic coincidences.

Today’s Score

This is my best 2XP Friday yet (I think, though maybe I’m forgetting). I get 2 points for guessing in two and 1 point for beating the Bot. 2 + 1 = 3 X2 = 6 points! That’s a helluva good score! (The Bot guessed slate / parch / space).


Today’s Wordle Etymology

The word “space” has its origins in various languages and has evolved over time to convey the concept of an expanse or gap between things, as well as the notion of an area that is unoccupied or open. Here’s a brief overview of its etymology:

  1. Latin: The word “space” is derived from the Latin word “spatium,” which meant an extent or distance. In Latin, “spatium” referred to a space or interval, often in a physical or geographical context.
  2. Old French: The term was borrowed into Old French as “espace,” which retained the meaning of an area or interval. Old French “espace” was used to describe a specific amount of time or a physical area.
  3. Middle English: The word continued to evolve and entered Middle English as “space.” During this time, it began to be used in contexts related to the heavens, reflecting the concept of the vast expanse beyond Earth’s atmosphere.

Can you solve today’s phrase?

The concept of “space” has evolved to encompass various meanings, ranging from physical distances between objects to the vast expanse beyond our planet. In modern English, “space” is used to refer to both the physical emptiness between objects and the broader cosmic expanse that extends beyond Earth’s atmosphere.

It’s worth noting that the understanding and use of the term “space” have been influenced by scientific advancements, particularly in the field of astronomy and space exploration, where the word is often associated with the universe beyond our planet.
