How to solve today’s Wordle.
Looking for Friday’s Wordle hints, clues and answer? You can find them here:
Saturday is here. A day dedicated to the ancient Roman god, Saturn. It’s interesting that Saturn gets a day of the week but Jupiter does not. Indeed, in English Saturn is the only Roman god who gets a day at all. The rest are for the sun and moon and a handful of Norse gods: Tyr, Odin, Thor and Freya.
Like every other day, we have a Wordle to solve. Let’s do solve it.

Wordle Analysis
Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
I picked DRAIN for no particular reason but it ended up being pretty good. Just 91 words remained. I juggled the two yellow boxes I had with PLEAD and came back with four. At this point, apparently I had two words remaining but I could only think of one: LADLE. Thank goodness it wasn’t ADDLE or I would have been truly confused!

Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word “ladle” comes from the Old English hlædel, which means “a ladle or a scoop,” derived from the verb hladan, meaning “to load, draw out, or heap up.” This root is also related to the word “load.” Over time, hlædel evolved into Middle English ladel, and eventually into the modern English “ladle.”
So, etymologically, a ladle is a tool for drawing out or loading liquid, which fits its function perfectly.
