It’s the weekend at last, dearest Wordlers. I hope you’ve had a lovely first week of August. Here, it’s been quite rainy which is a godsend when you live in the high desert mountains.

The month is already flying by, and I suspect it will continue to do so. I have some travel coming up at the end of the month that I’m very much looking forward to, though it might be a little crazy since some of it is over Labor Day weekend.

For now, we have a Wordle to solve. Let’s dig right in!

Wordle Analysis

Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.

This ended up being a better guessing game than I expected after my second guess. TRAIL left me with just 34 words and one green ‘I’ but at the time all I knew is I had one green ‘I’. POUND gave me a second box—a yellow ‘D’—and I thought for sure I was in trouble. Little did I know, I had just one word remaining: MEDIC for the win!

Competitive Wordle Score

I get 1 point for guessing in three. Alas, Wordle Bot also guessed in three, so that’s a tie. 1 point for me! Bwahahahahaha!

How To Play Competitive Wordle

• Guessing in 1 is worth 3 points; guessing in 2 is worth 2 points; guessing in 3 is worth 1 point; guessing in 4 is worth 0 points; guessing in 5 is -1 points; guessing in 6 is -2 points and missing the Wordle is -3 points.
• If you beat your opponent you get 1 point. If you tie, you get 0 points. And if you lose to your opponent, you get -1 point. Add it up to get your score. Keep a daily running score or just play for a new score each day.

• You can keep a running tally or just play day-by-day. Enjoy!

Today’s Wordle Etymology

The word “medic” has its origins in the Latin word medicus, which means “physician” or “doctor.” This, in turn, comes from the Latin verb mederi, meaning “to heal” or “to cure.” The term entered English through Old French and Middle English, and over time, “medic” became a common term used to refer to a medical practitioner, particularly in military contexts.
