I’m going to shorten your name to KT for today’s puzzle, just to keep things simple and make sure I do it right.

And hey, that little cartoon insect you dropped in there? Adorable. Totally unexpected. Actually had me considering it for Fearless Friday... but why wait? Let’s bring some deep-sea energy to our Monday.

If you haven’t played today’s Wordle yet, pause here. Otherwise, let’s solve it together.
Let’s Solve the Puzzle
First Guess: SQUID
Let’s do it.
SQUID
⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜
Okay! No hits, but I don’t regret that one bit. Variety is the spice of life—and hey, it’s not every day you start the week with a squid.
Time to pivot.
together.
Second Guess: HEART
Like yesterday, I’m going with a strategy that gives us two more classic vowels—E and A—plus the powerhouse consonants H, R, and T. It worked yesterday, maybe it works again?
Let’s see…
HEART
⬜🟨⬜🟨⬜
Alright! We’ve got an E and R—just not in those spots. A bit of traction!
Now let’s talk game plan. We haven’t tested the O yet. What if we aim for a structure that plays with that?
Third Guess: PRONE
Here’s my thinking—maybe we’ve got P-R-O-N-E, or something close.
We already ruled out R in the fourth spot, but shifting things around, PRONE checks several boxes:
-
Introduces P and N
-
Moves E and R around
-
And it covers that final vowel O
Let’s lock it in.
PRONE
🟩🟩⬜🟨🟨
Okay! P and R locked in—green. E and N still out of place. This is very promising.
Time to break this down.
If N isn’t in the third or fourth spot... and E still hasn’t landed... then we’re narrowing in.
We’ve got P-R---_
With N and E still floating around.
And then—click—it hits me.
What if we’re looking at P-R-E-E-N? Nope, we tested the O... not E-E...
Wait. Wait just a second...
Fourth Guess: PREEN
No... scratch that.
Let’s get sharp.
Is the answer...
PREEN?
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
YES. IT. IS.
Today’s Wordle Answer: Preen
Took a little spiraling around—but we got there. And once again, reminder: always keep an eye out for those repeat vowels. That third E can be sneaky.
Tomorrow’s Starter Word: GNOME
Yup, we’re going mystical forest creature tomorrow. Silent G and all. G-N-O-M-E.
Should be a fun one to unravel!
Thanks as always for playing along—whether you're solving from your phone in bed, your desk at work (shhh, I won’t tell), or on the move.
Until tomorrow—
Happy Solving, Wordlers!
