Looking for Monday’s Wordle hints, clues and answer? You can find them here:
It’s the last day of April, and I am ready for May. Somehow, I’m still getting over this cold I’ve been fighting. Now it’s manifested as relentless sinus headaches. What fun!
But the birds are chirping and the skies are blue, and it’s gone from snow to spring in a flash, thank goodness. Soon, it’ll be lovely hikes in the forest and not a care in the world. Summer is coming.
Let’s do this Wordle.

The Answer:
Wordle Analysis
Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
Things started off pretty grand right from the start today. SPARE left me with two yellow boxes and just 30 remaining possible solutions. I decided to rearrange the consonants I had and toss in some new vowels with PROUD. That lined up three lovely green boxes but left me with a number of words. I tried to think of something that would cut out the most letters but couldn’t think of anything so I just went with my gut and guessed PROWL. Lucky for me, that was the Wordle!
Competitive Wordle Score
Just like yesterday, I get 1 point for guessing in three and 0 for tying the Bot. 1 point! Huzzah!
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 “prowl” originates from the late Middle English word “prowlen” or “prowelen,” which first appeared in the 14th century. The exact origins of the word are a bit obscure, but it is believed to have derived from the Low German word “prūlen” or “prūlen,” which means “to move stealthily” or “to poke about.” The sense of the word as it is used today—to move about stealthily or to roam in search of something, typically prey or something to steal—closely aligns with these early meanings, suggesting a connection to the behavior of animals hunting or searching for food.
