Wordle Analysis
Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
Lots of luck for your humble narrator today. STARE wasn’t a great or terrible opener, leaving me with just one yellow box and 120 remaining solutions. CLOUD slashed that number to four, three of which began with the letter ‘D’. DIGIT, DITTY, DITZY and WIDTH were the words I came up with, and I picked DITTY because I figured it was more likely than DITZY, I didn’t want to pick WIDTH since it was the only ‘W’ word and I swear we’ve had DIGIT already, though I could be wrong. Lucky me, DITTY was the Wordle!
Competitive Wordle Score
I get 1 point for guessing in three and 1 more point for beating the Bot, who took five tries today. That’s 2 points (I’ve been up or down 2 points every day for the last four days now) but since it’s 2XP Friday that means I get 4 points. Huzzah!
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 ditty comes from the Old French dité (meaning “composition” or “something said”), which itself derives from the Latin dictātum (“thing dictated”), from dictāre (“to dictate” or “to compose”). Over time, ditty came to mean a short, simple song or poem in English.
