I always start with either adieu and storm, or audio and terms and it's never failed me... But I think I'm going to switch things up a little going forward since the "u" placement is not common so it's almost like a wasted turn.

I am getting a bit annoyed with Wordle and these uncommon words lately. The only reason I got this is because The Witches Of Eastwick by John Updike is one of my favorite books.

I looked it up in the dictionary and learned a new word. I view Wordle as a vocabulary expansion opportunity.

So I see egrets all the time. Not that I ever get tired of seeing them! Heck, I'm delighted by my backyard sparrows, too.

Who knew that there was such a thing as "the forest preserves of Chicago." With egrets, no less! That sounds magical.

I was born in Cook County hospital, but our family moved to the east coast when I was four. But we still came back from time to time to visit my grandparents. I can't believe I never knew about this!

I also work in the preservation field, so it's professionally interesting as well.
