It’s Wordle Wednesday, folks, and that means a riddle. Every Wednesday we spice things up around here by adding an extra challenge to your daily Wordle. Every Thursday, I post the answer.
Today we’re doing a bit of a logic puzzle. This is a classic, so you may already know the answer, but I think it’s a fun brain-teaser.
The Logic Puzzle:
You are in a dungeon maze and have arrived at the final room. There are two guards and two doors. One door leads to freedom, and the other to a monster’s cavern and certain death. One guard always lies, the other always tells the truth. They know which they are. The guards know where the two doors go. You do not know which guard is which or which door is which. You may ask one question. What do you ask to determine which door leads to freedom?
I’ll be back tomorrow with the solution here on this blog. If you know the answer, feel free to shoot me a message on Twitter ឬហ្វេសប៊ុក។
របៀបដោះស្រាយពាក្យថ្ងៃនេះ
ព័ត៌មានជំនួយ៖ You hypocrite, first take this out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
I was pretty pleased with my guessing today, though I think I got lucky. If I hadn’t guessed the ‘C’ or the ‘P’ early on, I imagine I’d have taken five or even six guesses.
ខាខេន got me down to just 64, and pouty slashed that number to three. From here, I guessed the first word that popped into my head: យន្ដហោះ, which I thought for sure would be the right answer. Alas, it was not meant to be. But at least by this point the final answer was obvious.
Plank សម្រាប់ការឈ្នះ!
ពិន្ទុរបស់ខ្ញុំថ្ងៃនេះ: I’m on a losing streak. Guessing in four gets me zero points. Losing to the Bot, who got it in three, means -1 total today. Boo!

Wordle Etymology ថ្ងៃនេះ (តាមរយៈ ChatGPT)
The word “plank” has an interesting etymology that can be traced back to Old Norse and Old English.
In Old Norse, the word “plankr” referred to a flat piece of timber or a board. This term made its way into Old English as “planc,” which had a similar meaning. Both the Old Norse and Old English words can be linked to the Proto-Germanic root “plank-” or “plankō,” which denoted a broad, flat object.
The word “plank” eventually became established in Middle English as “planke” or “plank.” It continued to refer to a long, flat piece of timber used in construction or various applications. Over time, “plank” expanded in usage to include broader meanings, such as a solid, flat surface or even a political platform.
The term “plank” has maintained its core meaning throughout the centuries and is still widely used today to describe a long, flat piece of wood or a similar material.
