Wordle Analysis

Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.

My goodness I got lucky today, and avoided making a terrible error by the skin of my teeth. I don’t know where DRAPE came from, but it left me with two yellow boxes and one green. This made me very happy, but I had no idea it also left me with just one remaining word. Then I very nearly made the mistake of typing in PLAIN for my second guess. Thankfully, I did a double take and guessed PLAID instead. Huzzah!

Competitive Wordle Score

I get 2 points for guessing in two and 1 for beating the Bot. The Bot gets 1 point for guessing in three and -1 for losing to me. That narrows the June gap to:

Erik: 6 points

Today’s Wordle Etymology

The word plaid comes from Scottish Gaelic plaide, meaning blanket. It originally referred to a large piece of cloth worn as a garment or covering, often patterned. The English adoption of the word in the 16th century broadened to mean the specific checked or tartan pattern we associate with plaid today.
