Wordle Analysis
Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
I feel good about my guessing game today. SNORE left me with three boxes and just 23 remaining possible solutions. But I had so many words that were super similar remaining, I knew I needed to find more letters and rule out some options. I finally settled on PHIAL for my second guess which fortunately gave me two more boxes and left me with just one possible solution: SPEAR for the win!
Competitive Wordle Score
I actually expected to tie the Bot today and was surprised when it turned out it took four guesses to my three. That’s 2 points for me! Bwahahaha!
I’m going to start doing a monthly tally of my Competitive Wordle score. I got 2 points on the 1st and 2 points on the 2nd. Add that to my score today and I’m currently at:
March Running Total: 6 points.

Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word “spear” comes from the Old Englishspere, which is related to the Proto-Germanicsperō (also found in Old High German sper and Old Norse spjör). Its ultimate origin is likely from the Proto-Indo-European root sper- meaning “to strew, scatter, or sow,” possibly referring to the act of throwing a spear. The word has maintained its form and meaning relatively consistently across Germanic languages.
