Today's Wordle
Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
CRONE wasn't a particularly good guess, leaving me with one green box and 181 remaining solutions. I very nearly guessed SUITE for my second guess, but had this stubborn desire to use all new letters. I finally settled on SLUIT, which is like a ditch, and groaned when I realized it left me with just one possible solution: SUITE for the win!
Today's Wordle Bot
Same as yesterday, the Bot and I get 1 point for guessing in three and 0 for tying. May totals are now:
Erik: 8 points
Wordle Bot: 2 points
The word suite comes from the French word of the same spelling, meaning 'a sequence' or 'a retinue' which in turn comes from the Latin sequi, or 'to follow.' Originally, it referred to a sequence of musical pieces or, alternatively, attendants following someone important. Later it was used to refer to extended or connected rooms as well as coordinated sets.

LeBron James jokes that Victor Wembanyama will hasten his retirement
On Saturday, a special episode of LeBron James' show "The Shop" was recorded at Fanatics Fest in New York City. Joining James before a live crowd was 21-year-old San Antonio Spurs superstar center Victor Wembanyama. At one point, James cracked a joke about Wembanyama's incredible shot-blocking abilities and the French native's 7-foot-3 frame. He said that Wembanyama swatting his shots will make him call it quits. 'I can't play that much further… As long as Wemby keeps smacking my [expletive] shots into the stands, it's gonna make me retire.' Wembanyama entered the NBA as the No. 1 pick in the 2023 draft, and he was the most hyped rookie to come into the league since James was a rookie during the 2003-04 season. He quickly lived up to the hype, and this season, he averaged 24.3 points, 11.0 rebounds and a league-high 3.8 blocks a game before a blood clot cut his year short after 46 games. The Spurs haven't made the playoffs since 2019, but with Wembanyama, star guard De'Aaron Fox and Rookie of the Year Stephon Castle, as well as the possibility of at least one big move this summer, they could very well become a powerhouse very soon. At the very least, Wembanyama is already a nightmare to play against because of his shot-blocking, and his offensive game is still fairly rudimentary at this point in his career.

With no points for beating one another, the Bot and I get 1 a piece, leaving us with June totals of: Erik: 16 points Wordle Bot: 10 points The word "thrum" dates back to the Middle English period (14th century), originally referring to loose ends or threads, especially the leftover warp threads on a loom. It likely comes from the Old English þruma, meaning "edge" or "fringe," possibly related to þrumian, meaning "to murmur" or "hum" — which later influenced the modern sense of a low, continuous sound (like a thrum of engines or fingers on strings).

The game will present you with a six by eight grid of letters. The aim is to find a group of words that have something in common, and you'll get a clue as to what that theme is. When you find a theme word, it will remain highlighted in blue. You'll also need to find a special word called a spangram. This tells you what the words have in common.

When you find the spangram, it will remain highlighted in yellow. Be warned: You'll need to be on your toes. 'Some themes are fill-in-the-blank phrases.
