Today's ‘Wordle' #1391 Hints, Clues And Answer For Thursday, April 10th
Looking for Tuesday's Wordle hints, clues and answer? You can find them here:
Yesterday was Wordle Wednesday and I handed out an extra tricky brain-teaser for you fine Wordlers to solve. Today, I'll post the answer. First, here was the puzzle:
In the land of Skyreach, four giants—Brumm, Eldra, Tharn, and Gorrik—each set out to build a massive tower. They each work at a different pace, and each one faces a unique problem that delays their progress. No two giants share the same building speed (fastest, second fastest, third fastest, slowest) or the same problem. Based on the clues below, can you determine the order in which the giants finish building their towers?

With my losing streak this month—losing to Wordle Bot, that is—I decided to play it safe with my opening guess and chose CRATE, similar to Wordle Bot's favorite opener, CRANE. This left me with just 40 words. I wanted to use something that knocked out two more vowels, and TORUS came to mind for whatever reason. It wasn't the Wordle, but it did slash out all the remaining possible solutions, leaving me with just one: TURBO for the win!

I get 1 point for guessing in three and another for beating the Bot. The Bot gets 0 points for guessing in four and -1 for losing to me. This brings our April totals to:
Erik: 0 points
Wordle Bot: 4 points
I'm narrowing the gap! If I get a good 2XP Friday score I could tie this up possibly. If I get a bad score on Friday, all these gains are for naught. We shall see . . . .
The word "turbo" comes from Latin turbo, meaning "whirlwind" or "spinning top." The Latin root relates to rapid spinning or rotation.
In modern usage, "turbo" was adopted in the early 20th century as a shorthand for "turbine" (especially in "turbocharger") due to its high-speed spinning mechanism. It has since evolved into a general term implying speed or enhanced performance.

Today's ‘Wordle' #1477 Hints, Clues And Answer For Friday, July 4th
How to solve today's Wordle. Looking for Friday's Wordle hints, clues and answer? You can find them here: I hope everyone had a lovely 4th of July holiday. As I write this post for Saturday, I am also in the middle of frantically preparing for our 4th of July barbecue, so I'm going to make it short and sweet. Huzzah! How To Solve Today's Wordle The Hint: Useful for hay, I guess. The Clue: This Wordle begins and ends with consonants. Okay, spoilers below! The answer is coming! . . . Today's Wordle Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here. CRIME didn't pay, which I should have known. 225 words remained, though I did have two yellow boxes. I tried mostly new letters with STEAK and got one new yellow box in the process. BEARD was lucky, giving me the green 'B' I needed, and at this point I honestly only could come up with one word, though Wordle Bot later told me there were two. Thankfully, BALER was the Wordle! (Not to be confused with BALLER). Huzzah again! We tied, so the Wordle Bot and I get no points for that and no points for guessing in four. Our July totals remain: Erik: -2 points Wordle Bot: 4 points The word "baler" comes from the verb "bale," meaning to make something into bales (bundles). "Bale" traces back to Middle English bale and Old French bale, from Old High German bala meaning 'bundle.' The suffix '-er' denotes an agent—so a baler is someone or something (like a machine) that makes bales. Let me know how you fared with your Wordle today on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook.

How AI can help you navigate layoffs, according to one executive producer at Xbox
It's been a rough week at Microsoft. Following the news that 9,000 people are being laid off at the company, one Xbox executive offered some questionable words of advice for people on their way out: Find solace in Microsoft Copilot. As reported by Aftermath , Matt Turnbull, an executive producer at Xbox Game Studios Publishing who clearly did not lose his job recently, took to LinkedIn to let folks know, "You're not alone and you don't have to go it alone." In the same breath as acknowledging that AI evokes "strong feelings in people," Turnbull suggested that LLMs like ChatGPT and Copilot could "help reduce the emotional and cognitive load that comes with job loss." Turnbull went on to provide specific AI prompts that he recommended for recently laid-off people, including, "Write a warm intro message for reaching out to someone at [studio name] about a job posting." He explained how an LLM could aid overwhelmed developers in planning their careers and punching up their resumés, and also help with "emotional clarity and confidence." The post was circulated on Bluesky by Necrosoft Games director and Insert Credit host Brandon Sheffield, where it received a predictably negative reaction. According to Video Games Chronicle , LinkedIn users were similarly unimpressed. Turnbull deleted the post a few hours later. Here's the full text from the LinkedIn post: These are really challenging times, and if you're navigating a layoff or even quietly preparing for one, you're not alone and you don't have to go it alone. I know these types of tools engender strong feelings in people, but I'd be remiss in not trying to offer the best advice I can under the circumstances. I've been experimenting with ways to use LLM Al tools (like ChatGPT or Copilot) to help reduce the emotional and cognitive load that comes with job loss. Here are some prompt ideas and use cases that might help if you're feeling overwhelmed: Career Planning Prompts:"Act as a career coach. I've been laid off from a [role] in the game industry. Help me build a 30-day plan to regroup, research new roles, and start applying without burning out." "What kinds of game industry jobs could I pivot to with experience in [Production/Narrative/LiveOps/etc.]?" Resume & Linkedin Help"Here's my current resume. Give me three tailored versions: one for AAA, one for platform/publishing roles, and one for startup/small studio leadership.""Rewrite this resume bullet to highlight impact and metrics." "Draft a new LinkedIn 'About Me' section that focuses on my leadership style, shipped titles, and vision for game development." Networking & Outreach"Draft a friendly message I can send to old coworkers letting them know I'm exploring new opportunities." "Write a warm intro message for reaching out to someone at [studio name] about a job posting." Emotional Clarity & Confidence "I'm struggling with imposter syndrome after being laid off. Can you help me reframe this experience in a way that reminds me what I'm good at?" No Al tool is a replacement for your voice or your lived experience. But at a time when mental energy is scarce, these tools can help get you unstuck faster, calmer, and with more clarity. If this helps, feel free to share with others in your network. Stay kind, stay smart, stay connected. Turnbull's post, however earnest, comes at a time when Microsoft is seemingly all-in on both AI and layoffs. The 9,000 job losses this week add to over 6,000 announced in May . Microsoft President Brad Smith began 2025 by committing to spend around $80 billion on AI infrastructure through the year, and CEO Satya Nadella recently shared that a large portion of his company's code is now authored by AI. Just last week, Business Insider reported on another executive telling employees that using Copilot is " no longer optional " in an internal memo. One developer at Halo Studios, which was affected by the layoffs, told Engadget's Jessica Conditt that they felt Xbox leadership was looking to "replace as many jobs as they can with AI agents."
