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 even feel bad about taking four guesses today, even though I would have preferred a better game. STORE left me with 214 words but also two yellow boxes, which I turned into a lot more boxes with REACH. Still no greens, however, but CLEAR slashed my remaining guesses to two and I got lucky with CREAM for the win!
Competitive Wordle Score
I get 0 points for guessing in four and -1 for losing to the Bot, who guessed in two somehow!

Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word cream comes from the Old French cresme (Modern French crème), which itself derives from the Late Latin crisma or chrisma, meaning “ointment” or “anointing.” This, in turn, comes from the Greek khrisma (χρίσμα), meaning “anointing” or “unction.” The connection likely arose because of the thick, rich texture of cream, resembling ointments used for anointing. Over time, the term came to specifically refer to the fatty layer that rises to the top of milk.
