Wordle Analysis
Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
Today’s guessing game went just fine, despite opening with a word that left me 395 remaining solutions. MOURN wasn’t a great start, but SLATE slashed that number down to just 6 and now I had two yellows and a green.
I also had a handful of words to choose from. I came up with CRAFT, DRAFT and GRAFT, as well as TRACK and TRACT. There was also TRAIT but I didn’t think of that one. The most common letter here that I didn’t already have was ‘C’ so I went with CRAFT, which I figured would at least get rid of the most possible words.
Lucky for me, it was the Wordle!
Competitive Wordle Score
I get 1 point for guessing in three and 0 for tying the Bot. 1 point! Huzzah!

Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word “craft” originates from the Old English word “cræft,” which initially meant strength or skill. This Old English term has Proto-Germanic roots, specifically from the word “*kraftiz,” meaning power or physical strength. Over time, “craft” evolved in Middle English to encompass skill in planning, making, or executing, and it has come to be associated with a specific skill or art form, particularly involving manual dexterity or artistic ability. The word reflects a broad sense of skillfulness and the ability to create or construct with a degree of artistry and expertise.
