Wordle Analysis
Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
In some ways, my opening guess today was both a curse and a blessing. Sure, I had three green boxes and that sounds like a great start, but I also knew that these three letters meant I had a bunch of really, really similar words to pick from: STARE, SCARE, SHAPE, SCALE, etc. etc. Turns out, I had 18 words left but most of them were almost identical. I knew I had to eliminate as many letters as possible, especially letters like H, P, R, C and so I came up with something that used a new vowel also: CHURN. Lucky for me, the ‘U’ was key and only one word remained: SUAVE for the win!

Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word suave comes from the Latin suāvis, meaning “sweet” or “agreeable.” It entered Old French as suave with a similar meaning and then passed into English in the 16th century, where it initially retained the sense of “pleasant” or “charming.” Over time, it evolved to specifically describe a smooth, confident, and sophisticated demeanor, often in social or interpersonal contexts.
