Wordle Analysis

I use Wordle Bot every day to analyze my guessing strategy. You can also check your Wordles using Wordle Bot right here.

SPACE wasn't a terrible first guess, but it only gave me one green letter, 'A', and not much else to go on. BOINK helped narrow things down from 71 words to 12, but still didn’t give me much confidence for a third guess. I went with FLAIR hoping to eliminate more options and was left with just two possibilities: AVAIL or QUAIL. I picked the word without repeating letters and fortunately hit the correct Wordle. Success!

Competitive Wordle Score

Both the Bot and I solved this puzzle in four guesses, earning us zero points each. Our scores for June remain unchanged.

Erik: 11 points
Wordle Bot: 8 points

How To Play Competitive Wordle

• A correct guess in 1 try gives you 3 points; in 2 tries gives 2 points; in 3 tries gives 1 point; in 4 tries gives 0 points; in 5 tries gives -1 point; in 6 tries gives -2 points; and missing the solution entirely gives -3 points.
• If you beat your opponent, you earn 1 point. Tying earns you nothing, while losing costs you a point. Add everything up to get your score. You can keep a daily running tally or start fresh each day.
• On Fridays, all points are doubled (both positive and negative).
• Whether you track your score continuously or play anew each day, enjoy the game!

Today’s Wordle Etymology

The word quail, referring to the bird, comes from Middle English quaille, borrowed from Old French quaille. That traces back to Medieval Latin quaccula, which is an imitation of the bird’s call (onomatopoeic origin).

As a verb meaning "to cower or lose courage," quail originates separately from Middle English quailen, likely derived from Old English cwacian, meaning "to quake or tremble."
