ForbesToday’s ‘Wordle’ #1444 Hints, Clues And Answer For Monday, June 2nd

The first Tuesday of June is upon us and apparently I’ve brought rain back with me from Scotland. It’s quite lovely, actually. There’s never enough rain in these high desert mountains. I’ll take every drop I can get, and so will our poor, dry forests. Rain also means more time to spend indoors solving puzzles! Let’s solve today’s Wordle, shall we?

Taking care of business.

This Wordle begins with a vowel.

I almost guessed ELDER as my opening guess today because I was writing about Elden Ring, but then I disliked using two E’s and so I came up with a different word that had some similar letters: DEALT. This left me with just 36 remaining words but I chose to try all new letters for my second guess, CHOIR. Two options remained: VAPID or ADMIN. I chose the latter because I was 99% sure VAPID had already been a Wordle. Luckily for me, I was right!

The Bot and I keep trading days. I win, then it wins, then I win. Today I get 1 point for guessing in three and 1 point for beating the Bot. The Bot gets 0 for guessing in four and -1 for losing to me. Our June totals are:

3 points

Today’s Wordle Etymology

“Admin” is a clipped form of “administrator,” which itself comes from Medieval Latin administrator (“one who manages”), based on Latin administrare (“to manage, attend to”), a compound of ad‑ (“to”) + ministrare (“to serve”), from minister (“servant”).
