Today’s Wordle Bot Analysis
Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordle score with Wordle Bot right here.
CRONE did me few favors, but HOTLY slashed 143 down to just 3 and while there’s nothing the MOTTO with MOTTO I chose MOTIF (as it was the only other word I came up with and it didn’t have a double letter, let alone two).
Competitive Wordle Score
I get 1 point for guessing in three and 1 for beating the Bot. The Bot loses 1 for losing to me and gains none for guessing in four. The August tally is now:
Erik: 3 points
Wordle Bot: 3 points

Today’s Wordle Etymology
“Motif” comes from French motif, meaning “pattern,” “theme,” or “dominant idea,” from Medieval Latin motivus (“moving” or “causing motion”), derived from Latin movere (“to move”). It entered English to describe a recurring design, theme, or idea in art, music, and literature.
