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 feel rather jolly about my guessing game today. SPARE ended up being a great opening guess, leaving me with 2 yellow boxes and just 31 possible solutions. I decided to rearrange the letters I had, rather than go for all new letters today and it worked out swell. PAINT added another yellow box and moved my one vowel into green. I didn’t realize it at first, but there was only one possible solution at this point: VAPID for the win! Huzzah!
Competitive Wordle Score
I get 1 point for guessing in three and another point for beating the Wordle Bot, who took four guesses today. 2 points X2 for 2XP Friday = 4 points! Not too shabby!
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.
Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word "vapid" comes from the Latin word "vapidus," which means insipid or flat. This Latin term is also related to "vapor," suggesting something that has evaporated or lacks substance. Over time, "vapid" came into English in the early 17th century, maintaining the sense of something lacking in flavor, zest, or interest, essentially describing things that are dull or unstimulating.
