Took me a couple of minutes to find the first word, but then it was off to the races.

It definitely feels good to solve in three or fewer but this one took me a lot of thought, so I’m very happy wth my 4.

I almost choked on my lunch listening to her talk about her integrity.
I think Bondi’s definition of “integrity” and mine may be a little different.
Trust me, having worked in management in a law firm for 11 years, for some lawyers having integrity is not a prerequisite.

I thought, for the most part, Canada was supplying the US based on US demand for our products?
I didn’t think Canada was holding a gun to the head of the US & forcing them into the trade deficit they have with us.🤷‍♂️
Meanwhile US farmers, contractors, industries & consumers are hurting with tariffs.

Okay, so I had to use a hint to figure out what the topic was, and that last one…I have never heard of such a thing!🤷‍♂️

Lady Luck has been good to me this week, with my third 3 in a row, today, and a 4 before that.
I had mostly 5s and a 6 last week and will probably have them again, next week.🤷‍♂️

First word that comes to mind: ‘’tacky”.

How long before the SCOTUS overturns the judge’s ruling?

That one didn’t take long.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

A lucky first guess, followed twice by moving the two yellows kinda limited where those letters could go. Thus, with some logic & unused letters, was able to solve in 3.

Admittedly, this was when planting the seeds in seed starting mix, indoors, but I was surprised that the seeds were only to be laid upon the mix.

Knew a guy like that when I was in my late teen years who attended confession every Friday night…or maybe every second Friday night, if he had “better things to do”.
Hanging out together in our mid-teens turned into avoiding him entirely, once I realized his true self.

Well that was tricky. Especially figuring out that last word!

Lady Luck was with me from the first guess, today. Lots of options after guesses 1 and 2 but I managed to solve in 3.

I had three lucky guesses before I got that important first letter. Still lucky to get in 4 as there was one other possibility after the third guess.

Is/was posting that “insane thing” on X with the Grim Reaper considered “working”?!
I’m sure he didn’t create it but he probably gave the creators of it ideas about what he wanted it to reflect and he approved it to be posted.

After starting off with a blank, with the result of the 4th guess and the letters left, only the solution was left to get it in 5, as well.

A video some may find of interest involving the Christianity divide.
I too hope for a return to empathy, compassion and peace.🙏

Sadly, there has long been strife between religions & now even a huge divide within what is called Christianity.🥺
I started off with yellow bookends. Reversing their positions only helped to know where they couldn’t be but did help/allow me to solve in 3.

China and USAID were two huge markets for US farmers, and they are effectively gone.
The only farms that may survive are the very large ones who/which will swallow up more of the smaller farm operations, which were still larger than the small family farms which had already disappeared.

I’m trying to remember what seed I planted for the first time this past Spring that said in the planting instructions: “Lay the seed on top of the seed starting mix (or soil or whatever it was)”. I do know it was one of the flowers I grew to put in the garden.

Which Christians are Poilievre referring to? There should be no hate-based violence to either one of them, but there is a difference between what people call being or acting Christian or view as Christianity, & many are not Christians IMHO.

As @devorahleah.bsky.social observes Yom Kippur, many of us are still “Wordle-ing”.

Your POTUS will never hold himself accountable for anything. He either blames the Dems as a whole, specified Dems, or he fires his own when he definitely cannot blame the Dems.
