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 this was a hard one today, unfortunately, given that it’s 2XP Friday! CRATE was a terrible first guess, leaving me with 343 remaining solutions and zero yellow or green boxes. HOIST was a bad guess, period, since I reused the T by mistake. Once again, no boxes and still 45 words remaining. BULLY narrowed things down a bit and nabbed me two green boxes, but I still had so many options. FUNKY finally did the trick, leaving me with two remaining words. I could only think of one: FUZZY. Thankfully—finally!—that was the Wordle!

Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word “fuzzy” originates from the noun “fuzz,” which dates back to the late 16th century, meaning fine, light, or frizzy fibers or hair. The adjective “fuzzy” emerged in the early 18th century, describing something covered in fuzz or having a soft, indistinct texture. Over time, its meaning expanded metaphorically to include “blurred, indistinct, or unclear” (e.g., fuzzy logic, fuzzy thinking). The ultimate origin of “fuzz” is uncertain, but it may be related to dialectal words for loose fibers or frizzy hair.
