Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
I chose TRAIN because, I suppose, I've got traveling on my brain. Though I haven't taken any trains this trip. Lucky guess! With just six words remaining and three boxes—two in yellow, one in green—I made a wild swing with DRIFT. So close! Swing and a miss. Still, now that I had four green boxes I knew the answer had to be GRIFT, and it was. Huzzah!

The word "grift" likely originated in early 20th-century American slang, possibly as a blend of "graft" (meaning corruption or dishonest gain) and "grasp" or "drift." It refers to petty swindling or a con. Its exact origin is uncertain, but it first appeared in print around the 1910s, associated with criminal underworld slang in the U.S. More recently, the term 'grifter' is frequently used as an online insult against people with whom someone disagrees.

Five arrests after police hit by stones and eggs in protest at house in Fife
FIVE people were arrested after a protest involving about 100 people at a house in Fife where police officers were pelted with eggs. A crowd of between 80 and 100 people gathered outside a property on Pirnie Street, Methilhill, for a protest at about 4.40pm on Sunday, according to Police Scotland. The crowd became abusive towards police, throwing eggs and stones, leading to public order officers joining uniformed police. The Courier has reported that the group was protesting over the presence of Buckhaven, Methil and Wemyss Villages Labour councillor David Graham, 43, who was found guilty of engaging in sexual activity with a 15-year-old girl last month. It was the second protest in the space of 48 hours following a previous demonstration on Friday night. Police Scotland warned that anyone 'taking part in disorder, or inciting or encouraging others' would be identified and potentially prosecuted. READ MORE: The force said it was 'concerning' that there were a 'number of children present' and warned that 'strong feelings' were 'no excuse for violence'. The gathering was described as a protest and disturbance, and no-one required hospital treatment. Video footage on social media showed members of the public remonstrating with officers. A 15-year-old girl and a 36-year-old woman and have been charged in connection with vandalising property. Two men, aged 22 and 47, were arrested and charged in connection with disorder while a 38-year-old man was also arrested and charged in connection with assault and disorder. The men were all released on an undertaking to appear at court at a later date. Chief Superintendent Derek McEwan said: 'Violence towards officers while carrying out their duties will not be tolerated and the behaviour they faced last night was unacceptable. Police officers are also members of the community and it is fortunate someone was not seriously injured. 'We understand there are strong feelings in the local area but that is no excuse for violence or disorder. We are particularly concerned with the number of children present last night. 'Officers continue to carry out inquiries, including reviewing video footage of the event to identify those who were involved. 'There was a protest at the same property on Friday August 1 2025 and officers are also carrying out inquiries in relation to this incident. 'My message is that anyone taking part in disorder, or inciting or encouraging others to be involved, should expect to be identified and charged accordingly.'
