SKATE left me with 159 solutions remaining and a lone green box. I tried all new letters with CLOUD and slashed that number down to 5, nabbing a second green box along the way.

It derives from the Latin word crispus, meaning "curled" or "wrinkled," which reflects the thin, slightly crinkled texture of the dish. The term entered English in the 19th century, retaining its culinary association with thin, folded pancakes.Let me know how you fared with your Wordle today on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook.
