AURORA, CO, JULY 12, 2006- The EMT program at the Community College of Aurora is one of the best in the region. The school boasts extensive equipment and supplies for their classrooms, including this room which is APTLY called "the morgue", where all the different mannequins are stored.

The Wordle Postgame Report is a brief analysis of a game of Wordle, the five-letter-word guessing game now owned by the New York Times. If you do not play Wordle, Indignity encourages you to please skip this item. The existence of the Wordle Postgame Report does not constitute an endorsement of playing Wordle, not playing Wordle, or of the New York Times.

October 31, APTLY, 4/6

IT WAS HALLOWEEN, so what could I open with but SCARY? Yellow A, green Y, and the reason I'd played SCARY was because Halloween was TODAY. A yellow T joined the still-yellow A and the green Y. Could be PATTY, but the play had to be BATTY. The first T was green, the A was not. That left APTLY. Maybe there was a faster way to solve the game, but a more appropriate one? I think not.

The Wordle Postgame Report will be posted semi-regularly on the website of the Indignity newsletter, and on Popula.
