Wordle Analysis
Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
This was just one of those Wordles where no matter how good my guesses were, they weren’t quite good enough. SKATE left me with 159 solutions remaining and a lone green box. I tried all new letters with CLOUD and slashed that number down to 5, nabbing a second green box along the way. Unfortunately, CRIME was not the answer (is it ever?) but with only one word remaining, I finally snagged CREPE for the win.
Competitive Wordle Score
I get 0 points for guessing in four and -1 for losing to the Bot, who only took three tries today.

Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word crêpe comes from the French language, where it means “pancake.” It derives from the Latin word crispus, meaning “curled” or “wrinkled,” which reflects the thin, slightly crinkled texture of the dish. The term entered English in the 19th century, retaining its culinary association with thin, folded pancakes.
