Wordle Analysis
Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
Honestly, I picked BARON because I just couldn’t come up with anything clever and that’s a word I haven’t opened with in some time. It wasn’t very good, leaving me with 288 remaining solutions. POLES slashed that to just 10 and CLOUT was so close. With just one word remaining, CLOUD turned up all green. Huzzah!
Competitive Wordle Score
A total wash. 0 for guessing in four and 0 for tying the Bot. Zero, zilch, zap.

Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word cloud comes from the Old English word clūd, which originally meant “hill” or “mass of rock.” Over time, this term was metaphorically applied to the sky, as clouds often appear as massive, solid formations. By the 13th century, cloud had shifted to specifically refer to the visible, vaporous masses in the atmosphere. The earlier meaning of “hill” has since fallen out of use.
