I have no idea why the New York Times Wardle the game was so hard for me today. I mean, I know the word that was the answer. Of course, I usually think of similarly spelled fruit before I think of this word, but what was my problem? The answer also used my least-thinking vowel, which always turns me off.

And now, the story. I’m a big fan of The Brady Bunch. When a college friend and I wrote a book about pop culture in the 1970s and 1980s, that friend gave me four tiny juice glasses that were actually used in the show. (I broke one, but protect carefully and occasionally use the other three.) Why do 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 “Marsha, Marsha, Marsha!”
