Wordle Analysis
Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
PEARL was once again a pretty solid opener, and HOIST took the 86 words I had left and turned it into—ironically enough—7. I wish I’d guessed that number next, but I chose to SEGUE instead. My last guess was lucky number SEVEN for the win. Huzzah!
Competitive Wordle Score
A total wash. 0 points for guessing in four and 0 for tying the Bot.

Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word “seven” comes from Old English seofon, which traces back to the Proto-Germanic sebun and ultimately the Proto-Indo-European root septm̥, which is also the source of similar words in Latin (septem) and Greek (heptá).
