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

CLOUT wasn\u2019t a very good opener today, leaving me with one yellow \u201cU\u201d and 175 possible solutions. SUPER was . . . not super, but not terrible and MURKY cut my options down to just two: QUARK and QUIRK. I was pretty sure we\u2019d had QUIRK before (we don\u2019t get a lot of QU Wordles) so I went with QUARK. Thank goodness my memory isn\u2019t completely shot!<\/p>\n

Enjoy!Today\u2019s Wordle Etymology<\/p>\n

A quark is a fundamental subatomic particle that combines with other quarks to form hadrons such as protons and neutrons; quarks carry fractional electric charge and are bound together by the strong nuclear force.<\/p>\n

The word quark was borrowed into physics by Murray Gell-Mann in 1964 from James Joyce\u2019s novel Finnegans Wake, where the phrase \u201cThree quarks for Muster Mark!\u201d appears. Joyce likely intended it as an onomatopoeic sound, echoing the cry of a seabird, and possibly playing on the German Quark, meaning \u201ccurd\u201d or \u201cnonsense.\u201d <\/p>\n
