I began with PIOUS today, though I'm not sure where that word came from—sometimes they just pop into my head. This wasn't a great opener, leaving me with 203 remaining words and just one lonely green 'I'. I tried all new letters on my second guess and TRADE slashed the remaining solutions down to just 8. DIMLY was my attempt to rule out a 'Y' and it ended up ruling out every remaining word but one: LIVID for the win!
Today's Wordle Bot
The Bot is livid, alright. It gets -1 point for guessing in five and -1 for losing to me, wiping out its gains from yesterday. I get 0 points for guessing in four, and 1 point for beating the Bot, wiping out my losses. This returns our May totals to:
Erik: 13 points
Wordle Bot: 11 points
The word "livid" comes from Latin lividus, meaning 'bluish' or 'lead-colored,' from livere, 'to be bluish.' It originally referred to the color of bruises or contusions. In English, it came to mean 'discolored by bruising' (early 17th century), and later figuratively 'furiously angry,' as if one's face were darkened or flushed with rage. Kind of like the Wordle Bot right now.

Princess Alexandra Subtly Took a Side in Charles & Harry's Feud Amid Reports There's ‘No Turning Back' in Their Relationship
When family issues arise, people usually take sides. The British Royal Family is no different; their problems just play out on a bigger stage. That means that the feud between King Charles and Prince Harry has made everyone in the family take sides. This is complicated by the fact that King Charles is very ill, Prince Harry is also feuding with Prince William, and he's now living in the United States, far away from his family, with his wife, Meghan Markle, and his two kids. A surprising royal who seems to be taking sides in this feud is Princess Alexandra, the late Queen Elizabeth's cousin and daughter of the late Prince George, Duke of Kent. The 88-year-old made a rare public appearance on Wednesday, June 4, as she joined the King at a special church service in London. Princess Alexandra was pictured sitting next to King Charles in the Queen's Chapel, as the family marked its 400th anniversary. More from StyleCaster Prince Edward Could Predict 'Desperately Lonely' Harry's Future Amid Reports Charles' Funeral May Be the Last Time He Ever Sees His Family Again Duchess Sophie Subtly Took a Side in William & Harry's Feud Amid Reports He Caused 'Irreparable Harm' to the Royals Related: Did William really cheat on Kate? It might not feel like a lot, but for someone who doesn't make many public appearances, it feels like a statement. The Honourable Lady of Ogilvy had last been seen publicly when she attended the King's Christmas lunch for extended family at Buckingham Palace last December. Other family members have recently appeared publicly with either King Charles or Prince William, which is seen as taking sides in this public feud. The Duchess of Edinburgh, Sophie, stepped out with Prince William for a joint engagement on June 6th, while Princess Anne joined other members of the family —including Prince William, Kate Middleton, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis—to watch the VE Day commemorations from their balcony at Buckingham Palace. This comes amid reports that the feud might never be put to rest. 'There is no turning back,' Royals expert Hilary Fordwich told Fox News 'King Charles remains tender towards his son but can't risk communication. Prince William now has absolutely no interest in mending fences. Those close to the king say he [shouldn't] make peace with Harry in a way that would burden Prince William's future reign. The animosity is so deep that William has shut the door on Harry. Charles is not willing to go against his heir's wishes.' Recently, another source had told Fox News that Harry's relationship with William cannot be fixed and the two are not expected to see each other until King Charles dies. 'The funeral of Charles would be the first time that courtiers would imagine [them reuniting],' the source said. 'I can't imagine William would invite Harry to his coronation.' Royal author Valentine Low also told People that Charles' inner circle at Buckingham Palace is also advising him not to speak to Harry. 'There is not a good angel in [the king's] ear to say, 'Be a good dad and make the first move,'' Low said. So, it looks like things are not getting better anytime soon, and we might see many more people taking sides in this feud.

'Best place to live' hosts first Pride event
A town named the UK's "Best Place to Live" has hosted its first ever Pride event. Hundreds gathered at Audley End House and Gardens in Saffron Walden to celebrate the inaugural Walden Pride on Saturday. Aj Singh, who co-founded the Essex event, said: "It is making a real difference, particularly for young people to be represented and to know their town cares about them." The town was named the best place to live in the UK by The Sunday Times in March, for its schools, transport, access to green spaces - and the quality of the High Street. The Pride event featured music by local artists, including artists Sing Out Cambridge and Sakara Dee. People joined the march at 15:30 BST starting at The Common before finishing in time for the Pride Picnic Party. "It is so incredible to have an event like this close by as we have to travel usually," Aj Singh added. "We are both members of the community ourselves, this is not something that is a hobby for us, this is our lives." Stalls by Uttlesford UNISON, The Plant Pantry and Waterbaby Flowers, featured at the free event. Riley Millar, who also co-founded Walden Pride, said: "All that we have had is so much support and enthusiasm. "I wish that I had something like this when I was younger, and to see it happening little me would be so excited, it is needed." Money raised from the day will be used to fund future events arranged by Walden Pride. The idea for the festival was suggested by Audley End House site manager Kirstie Horne, who said she was "delighted" the site hosted the event.

See Bruce Springsteen Bring Out Paul McCartney at Liverpool Concert
Bruce Springsteen is performing his first-ever shows in Liverpool, England — the birthplace of the Beatles — this week, so naturally Paul McCartney came out to join the E Street Band for a couple of songs Saturday. Wednesday marked Springsteen's first concert in Liverpool, and it was a Beatle-less affair. Saturday brought the Boss back to the city's Anfield stadium, and it was a pretty routine E Street show again until the encore, when Springsteen and company welcomed out McCartney: More from Rolling Stone Eric Church: 'I Enjoy the Antagonistic' Garland Jeffreys Was One of Rock's Most Essential Voices. Where Did He Go? Rob Reiner: 'Bruce Springsteen Is 100 Percent Right' About Trump 'Thank you Liverpool. You're lucky tonight, we have a young man, a local young man from Liverpool, he's gonna play with us tonight, I think he has a lot of talent, and I believe he's gonna be going places,' Springsteen quipped in his introduction. 'So let's bring out Paul McCartney.' McCartney first led the band on a rendition of the Fab Four classic 'Can't Buy Me Love' — Springsteen and the E Street Band's first time performing that song live — followed by a rendition of Little Willie Littlefield's 'Kansas City' that was popularized by Little Richard and then the Beatles on Beatles for Sale. The two rock legends have shared the stage together on a handful of occasions over the past dozen-plus years: At London's Hyde Park in July 2012, and again at New York's Madison Square Garden in September 2017 (both times they played 'I Saw Her Standing There'). They also performed together during McCartney's East Rutherford, New Jersey gig in June 2022 (playing the Beatles' 'I Wanna Be Your Man' and Springsteen's own 'Glory Days') and, most recently, a week later during McCartney's headlining set at Glastonbury. Mirroring the Beatles' own sojourn from Liverpool to Germany, Springsteen and the E Street Band's European tour next heads to Berlin on June 11. McCartney, who played a residency at New York's tiny Bowery Ballroom back in February, has no tour dates presently on his 2025 calendar.
