Wordle Analysis
Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
Wordle Bot was very kind to me today, telling me my final choice was “excellent” and I’ll bask in the warm glow of the Bot’s praise for a moment. In fact, every guess ended up being solid. CREAM left me with just 38 words and three yellow boxes. I juggled those around with AMUSE and slashed that number to 3. AMBLE was lucky, but I’ll take a lucky guess! And it was an excellent choice regardless . . . .
Competitive Wordle Score
I get 1 point for guessing in three and 1 for beating the Bot. The Bot gets 0 points for guessing in four and -1 for losing to me. This brings us to . . . .
My March Running Total: 19 points.
Wordle Bot’s Running Total: 7 points.

Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word “amble” comes from the Middle Englishamblen, which was borrowed from Old French ambler, meaning “to walk or go at a slow pace.” This, in turn, comes from Latin ambulare, meaning “to walk” or “to go about.” The root ambulare is also the source of words like “ambulance” and “perambulate.”
