To end the year (and the #WordleHouse project), let's take a look at the history of Wordisle. We start in 185 with the Roman Conquest. They built the city of Lexiconium on the confluence of the River Lexicon and the River Lynam.

Today's #WordleHouse is the Lexicon History Centre. It explains the history of the Roman city, Lexiconium, which became Wordletown after the Conquest. There's a whole room on the legendary Knights of Lexicon who guarded the ruins of Lexiconium until defeated by the First Lord.
ALT A two storey green diamond gable with door below and chimney to rear. A gap right then two units of green with yellow over forming a large diamond gable with arched door below. Both blocks are presumably two units deep. Through the rear, connecting the two blocks and extending right is a high-ridged green range. Doors forward on the remaining bays (two and five).
