Odin's Day is always special here in this Wordle column. Instead of diving right into solving the Wordle, I always include a riddle, logic puzzle or brain-teaser. Lately, I've been doing a series of fantasy-themed puzzles. Knights racing to deliver a message. Thieves crossing a bridge while the king's guards are in hot pursuit. That sort of thing. And today, for Wordle Wednesday, we continue down this path. Here's the puzzle:
A knight, ranger, wizard, and cleric enter an orc-infested valley for a 6-hour challenge to see who can slay the most orcs.
Each hero has different strengths—and each faces their own setbacks during the fight. Use logic and math to determine who slays the most orcs and rank them from greatest to least.

Note: Each character slays orcs-per-hour and this number is impacted by the complications that arise. The Ranger, for instance, slays 8 orcs per hour, but the 12 minutes per hour he takes to restring his bow lowers that number accordingly.
Also: You cannot kill a percentage of an orc, so any totals must be rounded down. Wounding an orc does not count toward the total.
Your Task: Determine how many orcs each character slays in total. Then, rank them from most to least.
Okay, Wordle time!
The Hint: Strong beliefs and values.
The Clue: This Wordle has more consonants than vowels.

The word "moral" comes from the Latin moralis, meaning "pertaining to manners or morals," which itself derives from mos (plural mores), meaning "custom" or "habit." The term was popularized in this sense by Cicero to translate the Greek word ēthikos ("ethical"). It entered Middle English via Old French moral.
