As I’ve noted previously, the 1000th Wordle falls on an auspicious day: The Ides Of March. In 44 B.C. a seer warned Julius Caesar to “beware the Ides of March” .

When he arrived at the theater conspirators, led by Brutus and Cassius, fell upon the tyrant and killed him. The conspirators carried out the terrible deed in order to prevent Caesar from becoming king of the Romans and destroying the Republic, but it was all in vain. The lower classes were furious with the conspirators and burned the Senate House.
