ForbesToday’s ‘Word’ #1253 Hints, Clues and Answer for Saturday, November 23rdBy Eric Cain

It’s a lazy Sunday and naturally I have plans, although they’re all pretty fun. I take my children with me Evil this afternoon, which I’m very excited to see. I’ve seen the musical twice, once off Broadway, once on Broadway (this summer, actually, when I went to NYC and saw four shows in two days!), and I’ve read the Gregory Maguire book(s) on which the musical is based. Of course the books and the musical are all based on The Wizard of Oz, originally a book (and series of books) by L. Frank Baum, and of course one of the most famous films of all time.

When I was in DC this summer I went to the Smithsonian National Museum Of American History and saw the actual Ruby Slippers Dorothy (Judy Garland) wore in the film. It was indeed such an amazing experience. The entire exhibition – which included costumes and props from films such as Star Wars and television programs such as Sesame Street—was just incredible. Who said history can’t be fun?

Let’s solve this Wordle.

Word analysis

Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.

Wordle Bot gave me a 99 Skill rating today which is a good morale boost. STARE was a good opening guess, leaving me with only 26 words and two yellow boxes. I followed that up with MOIST because that was the first word that came to mind that moved the S and T where I wanted them at the end of the word. This was also a solid move. I now had 3 green boxes and could only think of one word: TWIST for the win! It turns out another word might have worked: WHIST. That would have amazed me well and truly!
