Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
SPATE is normally a pretty good opening guess, but today it left me with all grey boxes and 375 remaining words. Thankfully, CHOIR slashed that down to just four. Unfortunately, my next guess was not the 1 in 4 it needed to be. LURID, however, did leave me with only one word: RIGID for the win!
The Bot and I each get a whopping 0 points today for guessing in four and tying one another. Our August totals remain:
Erik: -2 points
Wordle Bot: 1 points
The word "rigid" comes from Latin "rigidus", meaning "stiff" or "hard," which in turn derives from "rigēre", meaning "to be stiff or to be fixed." It entered English in the late 14th century, initially referring to physical stiffness, and later expanded to describe strictness or inflexibility in rules, behavior, or attitudes.

Coldplay's Song Climbs To New Global Peaks 25 Years After Its Debut
Coldplay introduced itself to the world with its debut album Parachutes, which arrived in summer 2000. The set produced several hit singles, including 'Shiver,' 'Yellow,' 'Trouble,' and 'Don't Panic,' but these days, fans are consuming the title thanks largely to one album cut. A perfect storm of virality and social media attention is helping that track not only become a hit, but rise higher and higher each week on the Billboard charts. 'Sparks' Scores New Chart Highs 'Sparks' began to attract a new audience months ago, and since then, it's become a fixture on charts in both the United Kingdom and the U.S. In America, 'Sparks' appears on eight Billboard rankings, and this frame it earns new high points on half of them. The track performs best on the Hot Alternative Songs chart, lifting one space to No. 8, fittingly, in its eighth frame on the tally. It also advances one spot to No. 79 on the Hot 100 and reaches newly-certified peaks on both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S., improving to Nos. 87 and 119, respectively. Climbing Across Rock and Alternative Charts The same Coldplay cut climbs on two other genre-focused rosters this week. 'Sparks' inches up one rung to No. 11 on the Hot Rock Songs chart and also steps up one space to No. 13 on Hot Alternative Songs tally. Those marks are just shy of its career highs, as it has managed to soar higher before. 'Sparks' Helps Parachutes Soar Thanks to the ongoing success of 'Sparks,' Parachutes is once again a win on several charts in America. At the moment, it's sliding on the Top Alternative Albums, Top Rock & Alternative Albums lists and the Billboard 200, dipping to Nos. 19, 41, and 156, respectively. The project may be on the decline, but the fact that it's still on all three lists so many years after its release shows just how much the single is driving attention to the band's first full-length. Coldplay Claims Multiple Hits in America Coldplay fills half a dozen spaces on Billboard's global rankings, but in the U.S., the group only manages more than one hit on the Alternative Streaming Songs chart. As 'Sparks' falls to No. 10 there, 'Yellow' and 'Viva La Vida' both decline to Nos. 13 and 25. Those are the only other placements for the Grammy-winning outfit in America specifically. The Lasting Impact of Coldplay's Debut Album When Parachutes first arrived 25 years ago, it introduced the world to Coldplay's signature blend of atmospheric rock and introspective songwriting. The album won the Grammy for Best Alternative Music Album and has since gone multi-platinum in several countries. 'Yellow' became the band's breakout single, and now, 'Sparks' is giving the set an unexpected second life.

They Didn't Need a Formal Dining Room. A $127,000 Ladies' Lounge Fit the Bill Instead.
In 2024, a professional-football coach and his wife paid $6 million for a circa-1920s, Mediterranean-style house in Pittsburgh. They wanted durable finishes and informal living spaces for their three kids and a dog, said their interior designer, Colleen Simonds, while flat-screen televisions were a must-have for watching sports. But the wife wanted a dedicated room for the mahjong games she hosts for friends several days a week. So the 40-something couple spent $127,000 transforming a formal dining room into a space for mahjong, said Simonds. The family would eat their meals in the kitchen instead. 'She was very clear from the beginning,' Simonds said, 'that they did not want a formal dining room, and that instead she wanted this ladies' lounge area.'

‘80s star Kelly LeBrock ‘ran away' from Hollywood for goats, grandkids and simpler life
'80s star Kelly LeBrock is reflecting on why she abruptly left Hollywood at the height of her fame. The 65-year-old actress launched her modeling career when she was 16 and later rose to stardom with leading roles in 1984's "The Woman in Red" and 1985's "Weird Science." In 1987, LeBrock married action star Steven Seagal, with whom she later co-starred in the 1990 hit "Hard to Kill." The former couple welcomed three children before their highly publicized divorce in 1996. Following their split, LeBrock quit the entertainment industry and moved to a ranch near Santa Barbara, California, where she raised her children. During a recent interview with Fox News Digital, LeBrock recalled her decision to flee the spotlight for a simpler life. "I ran away. I didn't step away," LeBrock clarified. "I ran away." She continued, "I was never impressed with myself or Hollywood. I never really cared about it. And I did the right thing." "You know, I could always go back to a career, but I couldn't go back to my children," Lebrock added. "And that was the most important thing to me was raising my children, because I grew up in boarding school. At five [years old], I was sent away. And I didn't want to have that story for my children." The New York native, who was also raised in London, and Seagal are parents to daughter Annaliza, 38, son Dominic, 35, and daughter Arissa, 32. While speaking with Fox News Digital, LeBrock shared an update on her children's lives now. She noted that Annaliza works as a deputy sheriff in Siskiyou County, which is located in the northwestern part of California. Lebrock said that Dominic is currently in Russia, where he is "just starting a film production." "And I have my lovely youngest daughter who can do whatever she likes," LeBrock said of Arissa, with whom she co-starred in the 2017 Lifetime reality show "Growing Up Supermodel." In addition to modeling and acting, Arissa has pursued a career in professional wrestling. "She's brilliant at everything," Lebrock added. So I'm proud of them. I have three wonderful grandchildren." Meanwhile, LeBrock said she has continued to enjoy her quiet life on her ranch in rural Southern California. "I have a bevy of animals, which is what I was doing," she said. "I was taking care of the chickens and the sheep and the goats and the horses and the dogs and the cats." "So, I really ran away," LeBrock said. "I mean, the hardest thing for me is not putting on makeup or trying to look nice. It's trying to get those chin hairs out of my chin. And it's a whole new world. What can I say? But I'm excited about my future. I'm developing a Kelly Care product, which is going to help people with their wounds for their pets and grooming. And I'm excited about that, but not interested in Hollywood." While LeBrock noted that it was her divorce from Seagal that prompted her exit from Hollywood, she explained that she really never felt comfortable in the industry. "The crowd is very ugly, and I didn't want any part of that," she said. "I'm really quite shy, and I'm a homebody. I spent the two years of COVID completely by myself, pretty much in the wilderness. And you learn a lot about yourself when you're not in the noise." "And yeah, life's good now," LeBrock added. LeBrock was one of the industry's top models in the 1970s before embarking on her acting career. Shortly after her star-making turn in "Weird Science," LeBrock became the face of a beauty campaign for the Pantene haircare line and famously appeared in a shampoo commercial in which she delivered the now-iconic line "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful." In a 2012 interview with Allure magazine, LeBrock recalled that she was initially uncomfortable with saying the line and almost left the audition. "I used to be so insecure and self-conscious that if anybody even looked at me, I'd go red," LeBrock told the outlet. "So even though it was obviously tongue-in-cheek, it was really difficult to say, 'Don't hate me because I'm beautiful.'" During her interview with Fox News Digital, LeBrock explained that she has gained more confidence as she has aged. "I never thought I was beautiful," she shared. "I feel more beautiful now than I did then. And that's sad. Youth is wasted on the young, that's for sure." Looking back, LeBrock said that adjusting to her life in "the wilderness" wasn't that difficult. "I grew up in a very isolated area, the five, six years of my life, playing in fields and unattended by parents," she recalled. "And that saved my soul. I think when you can be in nature and be without people, then you get to know yourself, and you're comfortable." However, LeBrock explained that ranch life was not without its perils. "There's mountain lions and big rattlesnakes and tarantulas and bears, but the lions are big," she said. "And the last time I saw one, I ran home on my horse, and I haven't been down to that area since, because they're pretty big." LeBrock told Fox News Digital that she was disheartened by today's culture, which she noted was more disconnected from nature. She pointed out how technology's increasingly dominant role in daily life has limited human interaction. "I'm really sad for our society," she said. "You go into an airport, you go into a restaurant, nobody's talking. They're all on their phones. It's like a sickness. It's like a drug. And I don't want any part of that. It's just confusing to me." Despite permanently moving away from Hollywood, LeBrock has made occasional forays back into her former profession. Over the years, she has made appearances in movies, most recently taking on the role of Donna, a grieving mother and former gangster's ex-wife, in the 2021 comedy "Tomorrow's Today." She has also competed on reality shows, including "Celebrity Fit Club" and "Hell's Kitchen." This year, LeBrock and her "Weird Science" co-stars are celebrating the movie's 40th anniversary. Directed by John Hughes, the Frankenstein-inspired science fiction comedy followed nerdy teenage best friends Wyatt (Ilan Mitchell-Smith) and Gary (Anthony Michael Hall), who create their dream girl with the help of a computer. LeBrock played their dream girl named Lisa, who possesses the looks of a model, the intelligence of Albert Einstein, the fashion sense of David Lee Roth, along with superpowers including teleportation and time manipulation. The actress remembered feeling some trepidation after she arrived on set for the first time. "It was only my second film, and it had been filming for six weeks," she said. "So to be sort of unknown to go into a film that's been filming that long with a tribe of people who were all very interwoven, they already were good actors and everything — that was a bit frightening. It was like the first day at boarding school." "And John Hughes was such a child and just an amazing human being," she added. "And yeah, the cast of characters speak for themselves." LeBrock told Fox News Digital that she never imagined "Weird Science" would become so iconic. "You never think about when you're doing something, what's gonna happen," she said. "You just wanna do a good job and go home. No, you never know. And then sometimes you think something's gonna be great, and it falls flat on its butt. So yeah, chance is a fine thing." Robert Downey Jr. also played a minor role in the movie. LeBrock recalled that the "Iron Man" star was a "complete character" on set. "We never knew how big he was going to be and to have such a small role in an iconic film was interesting to watch how he grew and how he saved his life basically by getting straight," she said. "That's a cool story." While speaking with Fox News Digital, LeBrock reflected on why the film continues to resonate with audiences today. "Because we had fun in those days," she explained. "There weren't all these complications that are here today. People actually looked like how they looked. It was just a fun, easygoing period in life." "Where if we had cameras and smartphones in those days, we'd all be arrested," LeBrock added.
