This Wordle was challenging but I managed to pull through. SPIEL was a decent opener, reducing my options to 116, but it didn't reveal any vowels. I attempted to juggle the yellow boxes and luckily grabbed another vowel with FLARE. With only one possible solution remaining, I guessed LEMUR - victory!
Lemurs are fascinating primates - many species live on Madagascar, a biodiverse island with 110 unique species. While other lemurs can be found in Brazil, they often face extinction due to competition from smarter primates and human hunting. Today, all species of lemur are endangered. The importance of Madagascar to studying primates led scientists to divide the primate world into four regions: Central and South America, Asia, Africa, and Madagascar. The giant lemurs, once as large as gorillas, went extinct around 350 B.C.

The term "lemur" originates from Latin, where lemures referred to ghosts or spirits of the dead. European explorers who discovered these nocturnal primates in Madagascar were reminded of these restless spirits, thanks to their reflective eyes, nocturnal habits, and eerie calls, prompting the name.
