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

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

I decided to use Wordle Bot\u2019s favorite opening word today, and wouldn\u2019t you know? It was a really good starter, leaving me with three yellow boxes and just 44 remaining words. What makes me happy about today\u2019s Wordle is that while we both started the same, my second guess\u2014DOILY\u2014left me with just two possible solutions. When I ran the Wordle Bot analysis, it told me that my guess was bad and I should have used RANGY (which is what the Bot used) but as you can see, DOILY ended up being a much better guess.<\/p>\n

In any case, I could only come up with IDEAL (the other word was AILED) but that was the Wordle. Huzzah!<\/p>\n

Despite docking me \u201cSkill\u201d points for using DOILY, I beat the Bot today. I get 1 point for guessing in three and 1 for the win, and the Bot gets 0 for guessing in four and -1 for losing to me. I have a near-insurmountable lead in October at this point (though I should probably not start counting my chickens).<\/p>\n

Erik: 18 points<\/p>\n

Wordle Bot: 2 point<\/p>\n

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

The word \u201cideal\u201d comes from the Late Latin idealis, meaning \u201cexisting in idea,\u201d which itself derives from Latin idea (\u201cform, pattern, notion\u201d) \u2014 borrowed from Greek id\u00e9a (\u1f30\u03b4\u03ad\u03b1), meaning \u201cform,\u201d \u201cappearance,\u201d or \u201ckind.\u201d<\/p>\n

Originally, \u201cideal\u201d referred to something existing only in the mind or imagination, rather than in physical reality. By the 1600s, it came to mean \u201ca perfect standard or model,\u201d the sense we use today.<\/p>\n
