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 got lucky pretty much from the outset, though my second guess wasn’t great. CRATE left me with just 60 words, but SPOIL only slashed that to 11. Fortunately, my third guess (and I have a reason for choosing it, though it’s a bit hard to explain) was very lucky indeed. BROWN for the win!
Competitive Wordle Score
I get 1 point for guessing in three and 0 for tying the Bot, who got lucky also.
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 “brown” comes from Old English “brūn”, meaning dark or dusky, derived from Proto-Germanic “*brūnaz”. Its ultimate origin is Proto-Indo-European “*bher-“, meaning bright or shining, which evolved to refer to darker hues like brown.
