ForbesToday’s word number 1275 with tips, hints and answers for Sunday, December 15thFrom Erik Cain

We are officially past the halfway mark. December is flying by with no signs of slowing down. Hopefully you’re mostly done with your Christmas shopping because Christmas is just around the corner and, as they say, the goose is getting fat. However, I don’t think I’ve ever eaten goose for Christmas dinner. Not even duck. Nowadays we offer themed kitchens every Christmas. We started with Italian and made a whole lot of homemade Italian food. We did Greek last year. 2024 is all about Asia.

I must be hungry when I talk about food like this. ‘Tis the season. Let’s make this Wordle!

Word analysis

I usually prefer to use a word that has A and E in it for my initial guess, since you can easily put an O and an I or an O and a U after it, but I chose CHAIR today and it worked out well . There were 107 words left, and SLOPE reduced them to just two: TOAST or BOAST. I’m often wary of double letters and chose BOAST, which happened to be the wordle! Huzzah!

Competitive Wordle Score

I get 1 point for guessing three and 0 points for tying the bot. I’ll take a point!

Today’s Wordle etymology

The word “bragging” comes from Middle English bostwhich probably comes from Old Norse Bautawhich means “to hit” or “to strike”. This association with violent action evolved metaphorically to describe loud or proud speech. Over time, it came to mean self-praise or exaggerated claims. The exact Old Norse context is debated, but the connection with boldness and assertiveness is clear.
