Dozers

 enable images please

Ah yes, a dozer - one who is in a doze. I'm remembering a joke about a doctor saying he will deliver the baby and the parents responding that they want the baby to keep his liver. 

Explanation: A dozer is technically a bulldozer which is a type of heavy machinery. But if you break up the words to "bull" and "dozer" then you get a different idea.

Title: Wordle (or any word game, really)
M: "Dozer" - what kind of word is that?!?
L: It's a type of bull.

One Who Lives

 enable images!

Happy almost Birthday to my niece and Grandma!
Who else plays Wordle? Who else struggles when coming up with a word and thinks, that can't be a word, when it's clearly a basic word? The word was "anger" for me a few days ago - I thought "One who angs? What does that even mean???" But thinking of "liver" makes me think of "deliver" which reminds me of a joke where the nurse says they're going to deliver the baby but the parents say they want their baby to keep their liver. 

Explanation: sometimes when you stare at a word too long, it really doesn't seem like it's spelled correctly or is a real word. At least that's how it works with me. If a driver is one who drives, then a liver should be one who lives. But is a river one who rives?
