Today's Wordle Bot
At last, after I don't know how many days of losing or tying, I finally got a win on the stupid evil Wordle Bot. I get 1 point for guessing in three and another for beating the Bot. The Bot loses 1 point for me beating it and gets 0 for guessing in four. Our totals for July narrow:
Erik: 0 points
Wordle Bot: 7 points
The word "undid" is the past tense of "undo," which comes from Old English "undōn," meaning to reverse, annul, or open. It combines the prefix "un-" (meaning reversal or opposite) with "do" (from Old English "dōn", to perform or make). So "undid" literally means reversed what was done.

It's in beta for now, which means it'll only stick around if enough people play it every day. There's a new game of Strands to play every day. The game will present you with a six by eight grid of letters. The aim is to find a group of words that have something in common, and you'll get a clue as to what that theme is. When you find a theme word, it will remain highlighted in blue. You'll also need to find a special word called a spangram. This tells you what the words have in common. The spangram links two opposite sides of the board. While the theme words will not be a proper name, the spangram can be a proper name. When you find the spangram, it will remain highlighted in yellow. Be warned: You'll need to be on your toes. 'Some themes are fill-in-the-blank phrases. They may also be steps in a process, items that all belong to the same category, synonyms or homophones,' The New York Times notes.

Sarah Snook and Dave Lawson's Friendship Turned Into a Whirlwind Romance During the Pandemic
Succession star Sarah Snook recently added to her collection of awards with her Tony win for The Picture of Dorian Gray. The dynamic actress is a powerhouse onstage and on-screen. Her private life seems to match her success in public, with a loving marriage of almost four years with actor Dave Lawson. Here's everything to know about Lawson and his connection to Snook so far. David Lawson is originally from Melbourne and is an actor, just like Snook. He grew up in Victoria, then went to private school Haileybury College. He studied advertising and marketing at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, according to his LinkedIn profile. His first big role was as the host of Saturday Nick Television on Nickelodeon Australia. 'I never set out to be a kid show host. That was never on the cards. But then, you know, you get through one audition, then you get to another and then you start getting excited and go, 'I actually really want to do this now,'' he said on the Funny In Failure podcast. He also shared how his parents felt about the career pivot: 'I said to Dad, 'I want to really, really want to try acting,' and he said, 'Well, all right, you should give it a go then for a bit but give yourself a cut off time.' But he was supportive as well because he said, 'You know 99 percent of actors are out of work but that also means that 1 percent are in work.' That was great.' Lawson has acted as well as hosted, with credits in Bruce, Utopia, Peter Rabbit, Wentworth, Blue Heelers, The Crew's Ship, and more. In 2020, Snook was nominated for an Emmy for her role as Siobhan Roy in Succession, but the public ceremony was canceled due to COVID-19. Lawson made Snook an Emmy out of tinfoil, which she later shared a photo of after she lost the official award. In 2025, when Snook won her Tony Award for The Picture of Dorian Gray for Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Play, she said in her speech, 'An exceptional thank you to my husband, my soulmate. You are so brilliant holding the fort down and keeping our family together.' The pair met and became friends in 2014 but did not date for years. But everything changed in 2020. 'At the beginning of the pandemic last year, I got locked down in Melbourne with one of my best mates, and we fell in love,' Snook told Vogue Australia in 2021. 'We've been friends since 2014, lived together, traveled together, always excited to see each other, but totally platonic.'She added, 'We've just never been single at the same time. It's been a ride. There's so much heartache and sadness in the world, but on a micro personal level, I've been very fortunate.' Once they knew there was romantic potential, things moved quickly. Snook proposed to Lawson on Halloween that same year, and they were married just a few months later in their Brooklyn backyard. 'We fell in love, I proposed, got married, and had a baby all in a short space of time. It's not too big a word to say 'soulmate,'' she revealed on The Graham Norton Show in 2023. Their first child arrived in May 2023 and Snook shared a cute snap of her baby's head as they watched the season finale of Succession together. Snook first announced she was pregnant at the March 2023 Succession season 4 premiere. At the 2024 Golden Globes, Snook revealed the couple welcomed a girl, saying of motherhood, 'I love it, she's the best.' She added, 'She's standing. Not walking yet, but she's standing supported. She's great. I love her.' Lawson also shared on the Funny in Failure podcast that he has a son from a previous relationship, saying, 'I can't have regrets because I wouldn't have [my son]. It's that problem, if you go back in time and change one thing. A lot of it comes back to being a dad. If I change one thing…I wouldn't want to risk undoing that.'
