DATELINE NEW YORK 5-9-22 — The New York Times moved swiftly to change Monday’s answer to its daily Wordle puzzle out of fear that it would be seen as some sort of commentary on the debate over abortion rights.
The game, which became a sensation late last year and was bought by The Times in January, gives users six tries to guess a different five-letter word each day.
Yet The Times scrambled when it discovered that Monday’s word, which had been entered into Wordle’s computer program last year, was “fetus.”

Is that what the kids are calling it these days? “Talking to an ibex”?

Finally! I knew it would be Ms. Teresa—she’s the only one who would understand why I took my imaginary pet ibex everywhere.

Ibex is the name she really gave to her alternative to Siri. “Ibex, you don’t have the balls to block me,” she says.
