We\u2019re going to barbeque, which I realize is a radical and innovative and unique way to spend this particular day. The only downside is the smoke in the air. When I went out to my car this morning, ash was falling all around me. It\u2019s . . . not fun. But what can you do? The world may be in flames around us; all we can do is try to put some out, whether literal or metaphorical.

After each guess, the game gives feedback to help you get closer to the answer:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Green<\/strong>: The letter is in the word and in the correct spot.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Yellow<\/strong>: The letter is in the word, but in the wrong spot.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Gray<\/strong>: The letter is not in the word at all.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Use these clues to narrow down your guesses. Every day brings a new word, and everyone around the world is trying to solve the same puzzle. Some Wordlers also play Competitive Wordle against friends, family, the Wordle Bot or even against me, your humble narrator.
