Wordle Analysis
Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
RADIO wasn’t a very good opener today, leaving me with a lonely yellow ‘A’ and 261 possible solutions. CLUES got me two more yellow boxes, but only slashed that number down to 26. Ouch. BEAST ended up being a pretty solid guess, narrowing my options to just two: FEAST or YEAST. I just felt like YEAST was a better choice, and luckily I went with my gut.
Competitive Wordle Score
I get 0 points for guessing in four and 0 for tying the Bot. The Bot gets the same. That leaves our scores at:
Erik: 11 points
Wordle Bot: 5 points

Today’s Wordle Etymology
Yeast comes from the Old English word giest or gist which means both “foam” and “leaven” referring to the froth produced by fermenting dough. The Old English derives from the Proto-Germanic justam which in turn comes from the Proto-Indo-European root yeu, or “to swell, foam.”
