It’s November, dearest Wordlers, and Halloween is over. Today is the beginning of Dia de los Muertos, or the Day of the Dead. There’s no reason to stop celebrating when Halloween is over. This whole weekend is a spooky affair.

For now, let’s solve this Wordle! Oh, and it’s 2XP Friday so double your points and losses!

Wordle Analysis
Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
It would have been kind of funny to get this one on my sixth try. Irony is fun. Alas, I took four guesses today. PEACH got me down to just 42 words and SOUTH cut that to 3. But from three options it’s still a tough guess, and I was so close with SMITH. All that remained for my fourth guess was SIXTH. Huzzah!
Competitive Wordle Score
I get 0 points for guessing in four and -1 for losing to the Bot. That’s -1 x 2 or -2 total today. Bummer!

Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word sixth traces back to Old English sixta, meaning “sixth in order.” This comes from the Proto-Germanic sehs-ta- and ultimately from the Proto-Indo-European root s(w)eks, meaning “six.” The “-th” suffix, used for ordinal numbers in English, marks its position in sequence.
