Wordle Breakdown
I checked in with Wordle Bot for advice and opened with YEARS. It wasn't a far-fetched choice, ending up with 54 words remaining and green and yellow squares. TACKE only brought the number to 7, but luck was on my side with my third attempt. I struck gold with NERVE!

Today's Wordle Origins
The term "nerve" comes from the Latinnervus, meaning "sinew" or "tendon," which also refers to strength, vigor, and the body's physical strings. This word in turn traces back to the Greekneuron (νεῦρον), meaning "sinew, tendon, or cord," eventually transitioning to the medical term for "nerve" in anatomy.
The late 18th century saw the metaphorical use of "nerve" to express courage or boldness, as physical strength correlated with inner fortitude.
