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 was going to guess STARE but thought I’d change things up a bit and went with BLARE instead, which ended up being quite good (the ‘T’ would have helped with STARE but ‘B’ is a lot less common so it was nice to get that out of the way early). DEBUT was the first word I could think of after this and once again, a very lucky choice. All that remained was DEBIT for the win!

Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word “debit” has its roots in Latin. It comes from the Latin word “debitum,” which means “debt” or “something owed.” This term is derived from the verb “debere,” meaning “to owe.” The Latin “debitum” itself is a noun form, reflecting the concept of an obligation or something that is due.
In English, “debit” began to be used in the context of accounting and finance in the 15th century. Initially, it referred to an entry on the left side of an account ledger, representing an amount owed or a decrease in assets. Over time, the term became more specialized in financial contexts, where it denotes a transaction that decreases the balance of an account or represents a charge against it.
