How To Play Wordle
Wordle is a daily word puzzle game where your goal is to guess a hidden five-letter word in six tries or fewer. After each guess, the game gives feedback to help you get closer to the answer:
- Green: The letter is in the word and in the correct spot.
- Yellow: The letter is in the word, but in the wrong spot.
- Gray: The letter is not in the word at all.
Use these clues to narrow down your guesses. Every day brings a new word, and everyone around the world is trying to solve the same puzzle. Some Wordlers also play Competitive Wordle against friends, family, the Wordle Bot or even against me, your humble narrator. See rules for Competitive Wordle toward the end of this post.

Wordle Bot Analysis
Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordle score with Wordle Bot right here.
CRATE was wildly unlucky today. 342 words remained and all grey boxes. SPOIL slashed that down to 19, which wasn’t terrible but not really striking distance. MOLDY only cut that down to four, but then I got lucky and guessed NOBLY. Thank goodness.
Competitive Wordle Score
I was hoping for a win today to help narrow this widening gap between the Wordle Bot and I, but I’ll take a tie. At four guesses, neither I nor the Bot get any points leaving our June totals at:
Erik: -2 points
Wordle Bot: 5 points
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 nobly is formed by combining the adjective noble with the English adverbial suffix -ly. Noble traces back through Old French to the Latin nobilis, meaning “well-known,” “famous,” or “of high birth.” This ultimately stems from the Proto-Indo-European root *gno-, meaning “to know.”
