Wordle Analysis
Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
Not bad today. Not bad at all. TRAIN didn’t do a lot for me, but I had a yellow ‘N’ and had eliminated some common letters. I went with EBONY because I figured I should try the ‘N’ in a new spot and wanted to get as many vowels out of the way as possible. This proved quite lucky. All I could come up with at this point was MONEY or HONEY (though Wordle Bot would later tell me that NOSEY was also an option). I went with HONEY because I don’t care too much for MONEY, MONEY can’t buy me love.
Competitive Wordle Score
I get 1 point for guessing in three, but Wordle Bot also guessed in three so 0 points for the tie. 1 point is still good! Huzzah for me!
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.
- Fridays are 2XP, meaning you double your points—positive or negative.
- You can keep a running tally or just play day-by-day. Enjoy!
Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word “honey” comes from Old English “hunig”, which originated from Proto-Germanic “hunang” and ultimately from the Proto-Indo-European root “*kn̥h₂ónks”, meaning honey. It has long been associated with sweetness, both literally and figuratively.
