Бүгүнкү Wordle №549 Кеңештер, Иликтөөлөр жана Жооптор Шейшемби, 20-декабрь

It’s the last full day of the third season of the year, Autumn, and the shortest day of the year. Winter begins tomorrow Wednesday, December 21, 2022, at 4:48 P.M. EST. That means Wednesday will be the shortest day of the year. Days grew steadily shorter since the Summer Solstice, and after tomorrow will grow steadily longer for the next six months.

It’s no accident that the Winter Solstice and Christmas are so close on the calendar. The linking of Jesus’s birth to the return of the sun and to the Sun God in various cultures, including Roman and Scandinavian cultures, made sense for the early Christian Church, with the even more important Easter celebration taking place just ahead of the Spring Equinox.

In terms of daylight, it’s all uphill from here, folks!

Келгиле, бул Wordle кылалы!

Бүгүнкү сөздү кантип чечсе болот (Спойлер!)

Кеңеш: Think about the seasons.

Илдет: Only one vowel in this word.

Жооп:

Here we have another example of the curated version of Wordle, though today’s answer isn’t obviously related to the seasons. Still, this is the last day of Autumn—which I noted above is the үчүнчү season of the year. Then again, in some ways I suppose you could think of it as the fourth season of the year if you start with Winter and end with Fall—so this could just be coincidence. I’m curious to see if we get any themed words on the Solstice or Christmas/New Year’s.

My guesses were as good as Wordle Bot’s today. We tied—which is better than yesterday!

акыркы was my attempt at guessing a possible themed word. It’s the акыркы day of Fall. That left me with 165 options. жинине тийип cleaved that number down to just two. I had a 50/50 shot between үчүнчү жана өрчүп though truthfully, I only came up with үчүнчү and didn’t even realize өрчүп was an option until I ran the Wordle Bot analysis afterward.

I suppose it’s fitting to guess үчүнчү on guess #3. Huzzah! Enjoy your last day of Autumn!
