No idea why the New York Times Wordle The game was so hard for me today. I mean, I know the word that was the answer. Sure, I usually think of the fruit that is written in a similar way before I think of this word, but what was my problem? The answer also used my least thought vowel, which always throws me off.

And now, a story. I’m a big fan of The Brady Bunch. When a college friend and I were writing a book about 1970s and 1980s pop culture, that friend gave me four tiny gourd glasses that were actually used in the show. (I broke one, but carefully protect, and occasionally use, the other three.) Why did I mention The Brady Bunch? Because today’s Wordle answer is the last name of one of the Brady kid actors. Need another tip? It’s not “Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!”
