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 don’t think I’ve had this bad of a starting word in a very long time. CLOUD gave me zero boxes and left me with 724 remaining solutions. Somehow, SPATE slashed that down to just two. I could only think of one at the time—STAMP—but STAPH was another. I’d have been awfully confused if that had been today’s Wordle!
Competitive Wordle Score
I get 1 point for guessing in three and 0 for tying the Bot. The Bot gets the same.

Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word “stamp” comes from the Old English stempan or Middle English stampen, meaning “to strike, pound, or crush with the foot”. It is of Germanic origin, related to Old High German stampfōn and Dutch stampen, which also mean “to stomp or pound.”
The noun form, meaning an impression or mark made by pressure, developed from the verb — originally referring to the action of striking something to make a mark, like with a seal or die.
