What was up with today’s Wordle answer? I know it’s a word, and I know its plural form is pretty common, and none of the letters are especially uncommon, but still. This word never came to my mind. Today’s Wordle answer is bound to break some streaks. Ugh!

I’m nodding along with the Reddit user who wrote in the Wordle subreddit, «Am I going mad? I am English, a pretty well-educated, well-read person. Has anyone else, aside from academic mathematicians or statisticians ever encountered this word in the singular before?»

Not everyone agrees.

«I don’t think (today’s Wordle answer) is all that obscure for word lovers! It’s playable in Scrabble,» Peter Sokolowski, an editor at Merriam-Webster, told CNET.

Want to know a little bit about the word itself?

«These Latin singulars for nouns more commonly used with their plurals include arcanum and bacterium for arcana and bacteria,» Sokolowski said. «Some are equally well known, like media/medium, while some are more common as singulars but can form the plural in the same way as data, like stadium and atrium and auditorium. English absorbed a large number of Latin terms during the Renaissance and many of them were used with Latin plurals and still are, especially in academic contexts, like colloquia, symposia, curricula.»

What’s the best Wordle starting word?

Don’t be afraid to use our tip sheet ranking all the letters in the alphabet by frequency of uses. In short, you want starter words that lean heavy on E, A and R, and don’t contain Z, J and Q. 

Some solid starter words to try:

ADIEU

AT&T has unveiled a new phone plan for seniors, offering mobile service at a discount for customers 55 years old and up. (Yes, Gen X, that’s you — or some of you, at least.) True, the new plan is a bit bare-bones without the fancier features of the carrier’s pricier offerings, but it’s also cheaper than those and notably more affordable than its former senior plan.

Carriers typically offer several plans to satisfy a range of customers, from the frugal to those that are willing to pay for every perk and bundled streaming service they can get. But plans targeting older Americans are often more bare-bones offerings, offered at lower prices to appeal to customers on fixed and limited incomes. AT&T’s new AT&T 55 Plus plan is the most affordable it’s offered in years. 

In exchange, the AT&T 55 Plus plan is pretty basic. For $40 per month for a single line (or $35 per month per line with two lines), you’ll get unlimited voice calls, texting and data in the US, Canada and Mexico, and though AT&T’s senior plan page indicates it has «5G access included,» there’s no clarity on which circumstances will enable high-speed data downloads and uploads on the senior plan.

The plan also has 10GB of hotspot data per line per month, which is more generous than some other carrier offerings on our best senior plans list, along with a maximum 720p (SD) streaming speed for video. The plan also provides access to AT&T’s free ActiveArmor app that blocks spam calls.

Previously, AT&T offered a slightly discounted senior phone plan at $62 per month that was only available to customers living in Florida. Verizon retains a similar Florida-only senior plan. T-Mobile has several plans for seniors, from an older and basic Essentials Choice 55 plan starting at $45 per month up to Experience Beyond w/ 55 Plus starting at $85 per month and offering all the perks and extras of T-Mobile’s other plans, including a five-year plan price guarantee, streaming services and satellite service beyond T-Mobile’s network.

Here’s a breakdown of the best senior plans carriers offer 55-years-old and up customers:

It’s worth noting that every carrier plan’s listed lowest price requires customers to sign up for autopay — otherwise, the plans are more expensive every month. Customers must also prove their age by submitting an identification document to their carrier.

Later this summer, AT&T will also offer a bundle combining two lines of AT&T 55+ with the customer’s choice of either AT&T Fiber or AT&T Internet Air fixed wireless access internet, according to the carrier’s blog post.
