Christmas Wordling: The Twelve Days Of Christmas

(To be sung to the tune of “The Twelve Days of Christmas”)

“On the morning of Christmas, my First Guess showed to me
Two-oo letters, right where they should be
On my Second Guess, I went with The Bot’s most favour-eet 
Found nothing new — five gray squares, staring back-ack at me
On my Third Guess, I typed GLOVE and watched expectantly
But that’s not it — just got a V
Hope one more guess will solve it for me
On my Fourth Guess, EVOKE was the word I thought I’d need
It was the answer — one word remained — Victory’s mine
And the squares all turned green-een for me”

And the prose readeth thusly:  And it came to pass in those days, that James, who layeth in his bed, typed in SHONE for Guess #1 and it revealed to him those letters O & E (in position).  James cast his mind back unto the results of Game #910 (wherein GLOBE ‘twas the answer on the 16th day of December, in the year of our Lord 2023) and, finding there only 9 words that abide as solutions for the O—E closing combination, he smileth inwardly unto himself.  But in cowardly fashion, James did useth that Bot of Wordle’s favorite word in that moment (DRABS) for Guess #2, getting the Diddly of Squat.  GLOVE he trieth next — but the Lord would not prosper the hands of the cowardly — and only V (out of position) was revealed unto him.  But, lo, those same results of Game #910 made plain that only one solution now remained.  And so, choosing EVOKE, James solveth the puzzle.  James were bested by that Bot of Wordle — but defeated the Avg of NYT (at the present moment — 4 vs 4.4).  Thus endeth the reading.

Hope all Fellow Wordlers are having a Merry Christmas.

Take care and stay safe.
