Wordle Analysis
Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
Well I wasn’t as lucky as yesterday and my hole-in-two, but I was still pretty lucky especially with my second guess. I opened with PARTY because I’m going to one, but that ended up being a rather lousy guess. In fact, I remember thinking how lousy it was and deciding to use all new letters and I almost used LOUSY until I remembered the ‘Y’ was already ruled out, so I just changed that to LOUSE—a lucky guess if ever there was one! This left me with just one possible word: FLOUR for the win! Louse is the singular form of lice and you want to make sure there are none of them in your flour (or your hair) before the party.

Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word flour comes from the Old French word fleur or flour, meaning “blossom” or “flower,” which referred to the “finest” part of the meal (as in ground grain) or the finest part of wheat. This is because flour is made from the fine, soft powder separated from the coarse particles of ground wheat or other grains. The word eventually came to be associated specifically with the fine powder used in baking and cooking. Its usage in English dates back to around the 13th century.
