It\u2019s Saturday and the last day of February. 1\/6th of 2026 is over. Winter is drawing to a close. March is coming this Sunday, and spring in just three weeks on March 20th, the spring equinox. Then just three more months exactly until my birthday. We have plenty of time until then, and I intend to occupy it with as many games as possible, as well as good books, TV shows and movies. Speaking of which, my weekend streaming guide is out, so give it a read if you\u2019re looking for some suggestions!<\/p>\n

How To Solve Today\u2019s WordleHow To Play Wordle<\/p>\n

Wordle is a daily word puzzle game where your goal is to guess a hidden five-letter word in six tries or fewer. After each guess, the game gives feedback to help you get closer to the answer:<\/p>\n

Green: The letter is in the word and in the correct spot.Yellow: The letter is in the word, but in the wrong spot.Gray: The letter is not in the word at all.<\/p>\n

Use these clues to narrow down your guesses. Every day brings a new word, and everyone around the world is trying to solve the same puzzle. Some Wordlers also play Competitive Wordle against friends, family, the Wordle Bot or even against me, your humble narrator. See rules for Competitive Wordle toward the end of this post.<\/p>\n

Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordle score with Wordle Bot right here<\/a>. <\/p>\n

STALE was an unlucky opener, leaving me with 202 words and one yellow \u2018A.\u2019 CHOIR slashed that down to a reasonable, if still dicey, five and then my luck came barrelling back with HYDRA (though I very nearly went with HARDY, as I think hydras are cool but so are the Hardy Boys!)<\/p>\n

Competitive Wordle Score<\/p>\n

Erik: 19 points<\/p>\n

Wordle Bot: 4 point<\/p>\n

Better luck next time, Wordle Bot!<\/p>\n

hydra comes from Greek hydra \u201cwater-serpent,\u201d from hyd\u014dr \u201cwater.\u201d The mythic Lernaean Hydra was a multi-headed serpent slain by Heracles.<\/p>\n

The word entered English in the 16th century meaning the monster; later it broadened metaphorically to mean any many-headed or proliferating problem (e.g., \u201ca hydra of corruption\u201d).<\/p>\n
