The opening poem contains all the words (or variations of them) from today's Jumble.
Comments are welcomed! And couching them in Poetry is definitely NOT required.
Do not explicitly reveal any of the actual answer words until after closing time, but embedding them surreptitiously in comment sentences is encouraged.

Beef Love Letters”
The fillet is our
house steak. We thrive on it, each
serving an event!

DH does the Jumble and I am just his backup. But I will bring WORDLE here.
ReplyDeleteToday’s was a bear . . . and my usual starter STARE was not of much use.

"Starting a New Life"
ReplyDeleteThe newly-wedders
wrote each other love-letters
about how they would cherish the house
they planned to share with their spouse.
They knew that there would thrive
from the moment they'd arrive.
On the morning of their special event
they paid their rent,
and for lunch ate a filet
to celebrate their day.
I love the liberty you took, Misty, right in your first line, thus giving yourself a brilliant rhyme for “letters”!
ReplyDeleteWhat is particularly neat about it, is that it served as a keystone for your favorite theme—the “marriage of true minds.” The whole poem bears it out.
~ OMK
Thank you for the kind words, Ol' Man Keith, very much appreciated. I feared that my added -ders--at the end of my first line would make my verse unacceptable as a legitimate Jumble, so I'm grateful for your tolerance.
ReplyDeleteAnd, as always, I love the way you worked the whole Jumble and solution into your haiku. Glad your folks enjoyed their filet steak.
CanadianEh, welcome to our Jumble! So great to have you check in.
ReplyDeleteI've done Wordl only with a friend who visits once every couple months, and still can't figure out how to do it. What do the green squares mean, and how can we figure out how to get them filled in? And what about the yellow square? I'd love to learn how to do this and would appreciate any help.
CanadianEh, could the Wordle solution be PHONE by any chance?

Misty, I started with POWER because it was the first word I saw. The yellow means the letter exists, the green that it's in that exact square.
I can see that you have that kind of reasoning ability to solve.
You're getting better every week with your poems.

And OMK, more skillful too in his style

Thank you for the kind words, Wilbur. Do we have any sense of exactly which words won't work in the Jumble? That would help us narrow down the possibilities.
ReplyDeleteWORDLE is not an anagram, it is game of logic. You choose letters, keeping the ones that help and putting aside those that do not. Despite Kathy's comment, hijacking the Jumble site is no different that commenting at the Corner. As I said, Wordle is closer to a crossword than to an anagram. But then I like words.
ReplyDeleteMisty, any five letter word in the dictionary is OK. No plural S. A letter can be repeated but the yellow will only indicate that it's used- doesn't tell you there's two(or three)
ReplyDeleteI throw random words which remove letters; if I'm lucky I get an orange or a green.
It's very much a vocabulary test
WC
CanadianEh! or Wilbur, if you could give us the Jumble solution(s) at the end of the day, that would be wonderful! I'd love to see how they worked.
ReplyDeleteHey, Wilbur ~ Thanks for the compliment-Oh!
ReplyDeleteAnd Misty ~ Interesting, isn't it?--that FILLET may be correctly pronounced either the Germanic or French way--
and may
ALSO
be spelled with either one or two "L"s....
However, since the J-word above (LFITEL) uses two "L"s, I believe we must stick with that version, at least on this page!

HAPPY BARD-DAY!
ReplyDeleteToday is Shakespeare's birthday!
We don't know exactly which day he was born, but April 23 is generally accepted. It's a good guess, as we only have his baptismal date of April 26, 1564, and baptisms usually took place two or three days after the actual birthday.
April 23 is a neat date, because we do know that he died on April 23--in 1616, age 52.
~ OMK
OMK, would 52 years have been a more or less normal lifespan, or do we know what Shakespeare died from?
ReplyDeleteNever mind. I see from Google that there are a number of theories about Shakespeare's death, and therefore that it was at an earlier age than would have been expected.

ReplyDeleteCharles's house party was turning into quite an event
ReplyDeleteSo many had come that he needed to erect a tent
He'd purchased several fillet of beef to put on the grille
All were welcome to drink, be merry and eat their fill
Chet and Lois thrived to be in such jovial company
Especially when she heard the love letter Chet read her in the pantry

spot and O exists
P O I S E. I and E are in

O exists
O L I V E. The solution.
Note, O had to be first letter(O?I?E) of solution, logically

Wilbur, Chet is a real romantic, isn't he! The wedding can't be far off, I bet.
ReplyDeleteOMK- yes, I knew it was Shakespeare’s birthday today. The Stratford Festival sent me a lovely offer to celebrate, for seats to select performances of Hamlet in May and June. I took advantage to extend our visit to see Richard III (yes we Canadians knew the Jeopardy answer the other night!) and added Hamlet the night before. DH is eager to see the beautiful new Tom Patterson Theatre which is finally able to open. (We had tickets there for Richard III in 2020)
ReplyDeleteThanks WC for explaining WORDLE for Misty.
ReplyDeleteLucky guess today, in Hard Mode, as always.
I see that Canadian Eh also plays Hard Mode, and that Wilbur Charles plays the game in Easy Mode.

Wilbur, many, many thanks for that terrific Wordle demonstration. Yay! I followed it and got it. Just hope I can remember if and when it all comes up again.
ReplyDeleteAnd I loved how you worked all the Jumble words and solution into your delightful Chet and Lois poem.
Ol' Man Keith, thank you for reminding me about the double L in fillet today. And thank you so much for giving us the valuable information on Shakespeare's birthday today. We'll all have to try to remember that. And sad that he had such a short life.
