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.
CHORE was decent as far as these things go, leaving me with just 7 words. And TAMIN cut that down to just one: POSER (though I took way too long to come up with it).
Competitive Wordle Score
I stumbled onto SONAR by mista, but it worked really well and TAMIN, which is a real world fruit, but also one I just made up for this guess, knocked down all but a few straggler pins. I made some echolocation sounds to help the blat when we got home, which didn’t go over too well. SONAR was the only word remaining and it’s a good word: Our new July scores:
Erik: 16 points
Wordle Bot: 21 points
