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 was a bit of a tricky one, and my opening guess didn’t help (I forgot to guess KNAVE, which was my plan, and guessed SPORE instead). One yellow box and 317 remaining solutions to start things off. Yuck. I came up with LUMEN because I wanted to test another vowel, but I probably ought to have picked all new letters and something with more vowels, because ‘U’ was not it. Next I guessed FLEET because I suspected there would be two E’s but again, that was not the case. Still, I was left with just one remaining solution: FILET for the win!
Competitive Wordle Score
This is the first day in quite awhile that I didn’t tie the Wordle Bot. It beat me by one. That means I get 0 points for guessing in four and -1 for losing to the Bot. -1 total. Lame!

Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word “filet” (also spelled “fillet”) comes from the Middle French word filet, which means “a thread” or “a strip.” This, in turn, is derived from the Old French fil, meaning “thread,” and ultimately from the Latin word filum, which also means “thread.” The word was originally used to describe a narrow strip of material, such as thread or ribbon, and later came to refer to a strip or slice of meat or fish. In English, the term “filet” (or “fillet”) specifically refers to a boneless cut of meat or fish, particularly a tender cut.
