Welcome to the challenge, Rusty!

I was going to read all of them soonish, so I just read them to form a word lol. I'm also glad I didn't have an I or E in the wrong place lol - much easier to find an S title again.

I have a question that I didn't think of until now, do we have plurals here? I ask because I don't think I've not encountered any in wordle.

I'm ready for my first guess:

SNIDE

D - The Drowned Woods | Emily Lloyd-Jones ★★★ (08/05/25)
E - An Edible History of Humanity | Tom Standage ★★★ (08/05/25)

Are you using the link in the first post Robin? https://creativenomenclature.com/baby...

It seems like when you copy the challenge, the link is cut off and it goes to the home page of that website instead of the specific page with moon names in it.

Welcome Samantha!
