Today’s Wordle #1291 Hints, Clues And Answer For Tuesday, December 31st
Happy New Year’s Eve, dearest Wordlers! I hope you have some fun in store this evening. Here in my mountain town, people gather downtown at midnight to watch a giant pinecone drop from the balcony of one of the historic hotels. I imagine it will be quite busy this year given how warm it’s been. In any case, let’s solve today’s Wordle!

Etymology
The word “lemur” comes from Latin, where lemures referred to spirits or ghosts of the dead. When European naturalists first encountered these nocturnal primates in Madagascar, their reflective eyes, nocturnal habits, and ghostly calls reminded them of the restless spirits from Roman mythology, leading to the name.
Today’s Wordle Answer
I get 1 point for guessing in three and another point for beating the Bot, who took four tries today. Huzzah! 2 points to end the year!
