Wordle Analysis
Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
Turns out, CRIME doesn’t pay. It could have been worse, however. 176 remaining solutions isn’t ideal, but at least I had a green ‘E’. I chose all new letters for my second guess, SHOUT, and snagged just one lousy yellow ‘S’. At this point, 8 words remained though I didn’t know it at the time. I picked the one that felt true which, ironically, was the word FALSE. Lucky me—and very lucky indeed—that was the Wordle!
Competitive Wordle Score
I get 1 point for guessing in three and 0 for tying the Bot, who guessed TALUS on the second try, which is weird but I guess did the trick. 1 point for me!
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 false comes from the Latin falsus, meaning “deceived, erroneous, mistaken, feigned,” which is the past participle of fallere, meaning “to deceive, trick, or disappoint.” It passed into Old French as fals before entering Middle English as false in the 13th century, retaining its meanings of untruthfulness and deception.
