Today, SOLAR gave me a full grey slate, but lucky for me, CHIME dropped some vowels, reducing the 359 words to a manageable 7. BINGE was my next guess, leaving me with two possibilities – INDIE and UNTIE. Drum roll, please... I chose INDIE!

I fantasized that Wordle Bot would require 4 attempts today, but my dreams were dashed. I get 0 points for a fourth attempt, and -1 for letting the Bot triumph with only three guesses. Oh well, better luck next time!

Wordle's Origins
Tracing its roots, the term "indie" stems from the early 20th-century, with an abbreviated variation of "independent," taking shape. It gained momentum in the mid-20th century when it referred to independent film studios and music labels, operating outside of the large corporate systems.4 By the late 20th century, the term expanded to encompass various independent creators across various industries, including video games, publishing, and fashion.5
