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.

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.
PLATE was a super duper opening guess, leaving me with 40 words and only myself as my worst enemy. SOUND slashed that down to three and I came up with two: PUFFY and PUPPY. I thought, “Surely we won’t have another triple-letter word right after getting EMCEE the other day” but I thought wrong. PUFFY was not it.
Competitive Wordle Score
The Wordle Bot and I tie for four, giving us zero points. We end the month of June with me ahead, doubling the Wordle Bot’s score. Take that, Bot! Oh, wicked, bad, naughty, evil Bot!
Erik: 24 points

Today’s Wordle Etymology
“Puppy” comes from Middle French poupée or a related word meaning “doll” or “toy,” and appeared in English in the 15th century as a term of endearment for a young dog. Its exact origin is uncertain, but it likely began as an affectionate nickname before becoming the standard word for a juvenile dog.
