Wordle Analysis
Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
I’m a little frustrated with myself here, but oh well. My opening guess, CRATE, was quite good, leaving me with just 52 remaining possible solutions. RETRO wasn’t half bad, either, slashing that number down to just 3.
It was at this point that I obviously should have guessed OUTER, because the three remaining words were OUTER, OTTER and VOTER and guessing either of the first two would have de facto ruled out the other. OUTER had more letter variety, making it the obvious choice. I think it’s this relentless political nonsense that’s infected us all that had me guess VOTER instead. Oh well.
Competitive Wordle Score
I get 0 points for guessing in four and -1 for losing to the Bot, who guessed in just three. Dang it.
How To Play Competitive Wordle
Guessing 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.
Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word “outer” comes from the Old English “ūtera,” which is the comparative form of “ūt,” meaning “out.” The Old English “ūt” itself comes from Proto-Germanic “*ūt,” which is also related to the Old Norse “út” and the German “aus,” both meaning “out” as well. The formation of “outer” as a comparative relates to being further out or away compared to something else. This term has been used in English in various forms since the Old English period, adapting slightly over time to its current form and usage.
