How To Solve Today’s Wordle
How To Play Wordle
Wordle is a daily word puzzle game where your goal is to guess a hidden five-letter word in six tries or fewer. After each guess, the game gives feedback to help you get closer to the answer:
- Green: The letter is in the word and in the correct spot.
- Yellow: The letter is in the word, but in the wrong spot.
- Gray: The letter is not in the word at all.
Use these clues to narrow down your guesses. Every day brings a new word, and everyone around the world is trying to solve the same puzzle. Some Wordlers also play Competitive Wordle against friends, family, the Wordle Bot or even against me, your humble narrator. See rules for Competitive Wordle toward the end of this post.

The Answer:
Wordle Bot Analysis
Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordle score with Wordle Bot right here.
SPORE wasn’t a great guess today, though not really any worse than Wordle Bot’s go-to opener, SLATE. Oddly enough, my second guess, CHAIN, got me the same yellow ‘N’ as Wordle Bot’s GROIN. From here, NUDGE nudged me down to just 1 possible solution, and it looks like the Bot’s PEACH did the same: VENUE for the win!
Competitive Wordle Score
I get 0 points for guessing in four and 0 for tying the Bot and the Bot gets the same. Our November totals remain a tie:
Erik: 1 point
Wordle Bot: 1 point

Today’s Wordle Etymology
he word venue comes from Middle English venewe, meaning “a coming” or “arrival,” which itself derives from Old French venue, the feminine past participle of venir (“to come”). The root ultimately traces back to the Latin venīre, meaning “to come.”
Originally in English (14th century), venue referred to the place where a legal action was brought — literally “the place to which one comes.” Over time, its meaning broadened to any location where an event or gathering takes place, such as a concert hall or sports arena.
