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 started off rather badly with BREAD. 305 words remained and one lonely ‘A’ wasn’t doing much for me. I have no idea where AMITY came from for my second guess, but at least it slashed that number down to just 7. TANGY wasn’t a great choice for guess #3, leaving me with four words. Thankfully, the first word I came up with — TABBY — was no good because I’d already used the ‘B’ but this led me to TAFFY and I just went for it. Lucky for me, it was the Wordle!
Competitive Wordle Score
I can’t believe the Bot got this one on its third guess with just one yellow ‘A’ and one green ‘T’. Lucky lucky Bot. This means I lose 1 point for losing to the Bot and it gets 1 for guessing in three and 1 for beating me. Our June totals widen once again:
Erik: 3 points
Wordle Bot: 9 points

Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word taffy (the chewy candy) comes from British dialectal taffy or taffie, recorded in the early 19th century, meaning “candy made by boiling sugar.” The exact origin is uncertain, but it may be imitative of the stretching and pulling sound or action used in making the candy. It is unrelated to Taffy as a slang term for a Welsh person, which comes from the Welsh name Dafydd (David).
