I had an okay run at the multiple Wordles, but I cheated on Octordle and did it in reverse order since I was blanking on the first word, and I missed one word in Sedecordle (my guess fit what I knew, but no luck).

The first 3 words gave me 4 vowels and no consonants so I assumed it was something French. But this is not a word I use often!

I recognized the word from Mussorgsky's Songs and Dances of Death. I never knew it was an English word too. :D

The dumbest thing I've ever bought
was a 2020 planner.

"Does anyone ever think about Denethor, the guy driven to madness by staying up late into the night alone in the dark staring at a flickering device he believed revealed unvarnished truth about the outside word, but which in fact showed mostly manipulated media created by a hostile power committed to portraying nothing but bad news framed in the worst possible way in order to sap hope, courage, and the will to go on? Seems like he's someone we should think about." - Dave_LF
