How 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

Today’s Wordle<\/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

SCOPE was a good opener, leaving me with two green boxes and just 46 words. TRAIL slashed that down to just four, and I got lucky with my third guess, SMILE, which just so happened to be today\u2019s Wordle!<\/p>\n

Competitive Wordle Score<\/p>\n

The SMILE fell from my face when I saw that the Wordle Bot got today\u2019s in just two guesses (I can only think of SMILE and SOLVE if SLATE was your first guess, so this was genuinely about as lucky as it gets). I get 1 point for guessing in three and lose it for losing to the Bot. The Bot gets 1 point for beating me and 2 more for guessing in two. Our May totals narrow once again:<\/p>\n

Erik: 17 points<\/p>\n

Wordle Bot: 12 points<\/p>\n

How To Play Competitive WordleGuessing 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.Fridays are 2XP, meaning you double your points\u2014positive or negative.You can keep a running tally or just play day-by-day.
