Wordle Analysis
Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
I guessed BLACK as my opening guess because I’m looking forward to the Black Ops 6 reveals and beta this week. It did okay, but CRONE really helped by slashing 158 words down to just two. I actually thought I’d narrowed it down to just one: CROWN. I got the Wordle, but I didn’t think of the other possibility: CROON.
Competitive Wordle Score
Once again, a total wash. I get 1 point for guessing in three and then lose it immediately since the wicked Wordle Bot guessed in two today. Lame!

Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word “crown” originates from the Latin corona, meaning “garland or wreath.” This Latin term comes from the Greek korōnē, referring to something curved. It passed into Old French as corone and then into Middle English as coroune, eventually becoming “crown” in modern English.
