ForbesToday’s word number 1282 with tips, hints and answers for Sunday, December 22ndFrom Erik Cain

It’s the night before Christmas Eve and not a single living thing is moving in the whole house, not even a mouse.

A visit from Santa Claus –better known as The night before Christmas –was first published in 1823 as Report on a visit by Saint Nicholas, and its authorship is still disputed today. No other literary work has done more to establish our modern idea of ​​Santa Claus.

Clement Clarke Moore is often credited with authorship of the poem, but he did not claim authorship until 1844 (without confirming or denying that he had written it earlier). Some say it was actually written by the poet Henry Livingston Jr., an argument made by his children and their children and their children’s children over the centuries.

The story of the poem’s true authorship could make for a good television series or film. For one thing, Moore did not claim that he had written it until nine years after Livingston’s death, and many more years passed before Livingston’s family learned of Moore’s claims in 1857. It was not until 1899 that the family made their claims public when Livingston’s great-grandson published their version of events in his own Long Island newspaper.

The poem was first published on this day, December 23, 201 years ago Troy Sentinel. Livingston’s children claimed that their father had read the poem to them as early as 1807, many years before it was even published, but were never able to provide irrefutable evidence. While the poem was originally published anonymously, it was sent to the publisher by a friend of Moore’s, and it appears that many at the time, including the publisher, believed he was the author. Livingston never claimed that he was the author.

Historians continue to vigorously debate the issue to this day, with some offering textual analyzes that Livingston is the more likely author based on his writing style, while others refute these points and point to the wealth of documents attesting to Moore’s authorship. In all likelihood we will never know the truth.

Word analysis

Every day I look at Wordle Bot to analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.

SABLE was a good opening tip today, leaving me with only 12 possible solutions. With the S and A in green, I immediately tried SANTA, but Wordle wouldn’t accept that as a word – no proper names, unless it’s SPAIN, it seems. (SPAIN works for reasons that remain unfathomable). So I chose SAINT, as in SAINT NICHOLAS, and that gave me yet another green box. There was only one word left for me, even if it took me a hot minute to understand it: SAUNA for the win!

Today’s Wordle etymology

The word “Sauna” comes from Finnish. It goes back to the Proto-Finnish word “savna”Meaning “bathroom” or “Bathhouse”with roots possibly linked to words for “Steam” or “Smoke”. Traditionally, saunas were smoke-filled rooms where water was poured onto heated stones to create steam. This ancient practice has evolved, but the core meaning of it “Sauna” has remained connected to the idea of ​​a steam bath.
