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 was quite lucky today. Any word with ‘A’ in box 3 and ‘E’ in box 5 is generally a good starter. That’s a tip. If neither works, it’s pretty easy to find a second guess that has O and I together. In any case, SPARE left me with just 33 words and THINK slashed that to just one: SHOVE for the win! Huzzah!
Competitive Wordle Score
I get 1 point for guessing in three and another for beating the Bot who took four tries. 2 x 2 for 2XP Friday = 4 points for me! Huzzah!
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 shove comes from Middle English shoven, which is derived from Old English scūfan, meaning “to push” or “thrust.” This, in turn, has roots in the Proto-Germanic skuƀaną, which also meant “to shove” or “push.” The word is related to similar terms in other Germanic languages, such as Old High German scūban and Old Norse skúfa. The basic meaning of “to push with force” has remained consistent throughout its history.
