Looking for Wednesday's Wordle hints, clues and answer? You can find them here:
It's Thor's Day again, which means Odin has his day yesterday, which also means that yesterday was Wordle Wednesday and I gave you a rather puzzling puzzle to solve prior to tackling the daily Wordle. I'll post the answer below. First, here was the puzzle:
Five animals gather at a round table for their first Book Club meeting. They're trying to decide which author to read. Each animal has brought a snack. The animals are Bear, Porcupine, Otter, Fox and Owl. Each animal sits at a numbered chair, 1-5. The snacks they've brought are Pretzels, Cookies, Chips, Muffins and Fruit. The books they've brought are by Austen, Orwell, Tolkien, Shelley and Dostoevsky. Using the following clues, determine which animal brought which author and snack and where they're seated at the table. Here is a seating chart. 'Across from' or 'Directly across from' refers to any points connected by the lines.
The Puzzle
It helps solve this puzzle if you use the layout above and sort of fill in the blanks as you go. Each clue gives you a tiny piece of information and all of them combined provide you enough info to get to this final layout:
The solution
Seat #1: Porcupine — Tolkien — Muffins
Seat #2: Owl — Shelley — Fruit
Seat #3: Fox — Orwell — Cookies
Seat #4 Otter — Austen — Chips
Seat #5: Bear — Dostoevsky — Pretzels
Nobody messaged me the answer to this so I assume it was just too much work. I promise, next week's will be easier. Now let's solve today's Wordle!

This was a tough one! Even the Wordle Bot struggled. CHORE left me with 454 remaining words and STAIN only cut that to 35. I had exactly 0 green or yellow boxes, but that's true of the Bot as well. BULKY cut that number down to 15, which left me in a tight spot. So many very similar words remained. I went with DUMPY and that left me with just 1: JUMPY for the win. Thank goodness...I was getting a little jumpy!

The Bot and I each get -1 for guessing in five and 0 for tying. Our July totals become:
Erik: -4 points
Wordle Bot: 6 points
The word jumpy is an informal adjective formed from jump + -y, meaning 'apt to jump.' It originated in American English around 1889 to describe someone nervous, skittish, or easily startled—like someone ready to jump at any sudden movement.
