Looking for Saturday’s Wordle hints, clues and answer? You can find them here:
Lazy Sunday is upon us, and with it quite a few TV shows to watch. You can read all about them in my weekend streaming guide. It’s been cold and wintry the last couple days, so I for one am staying inside and playing games and watching TV and grumble about the weath. The winds of winter continue to blow, but a dream of spring warms my heart.
Let’s do this Wordle, shall we?

The Answer:
Wordle Analysis
Every day I check Wordle Bot to see how I did. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
This is the fourth Wordle in a row with ‘I’ in the third box. What is happening? Unlike the last few days, however, today’s Wordle has more vowels than consonants. That’s a surprise twist we don’t see very often.
I started with one of Wordle Bot’s favorite words because I couldn’t think of anything I liked. Trace left me with one lonely yellow ‘A’ and 185 remaining possible solutions. I like opening with words that have ‘A’ and ‘E’ in them because I can follow up with words like hoist or, in today’s case, boink. Turned out that was a solid bit of reasoning, and I had only one solution remaining, though it took me a while to figure out what it was. Then suddenly, voila! presto! The Wordle!
Competitive Wordle Score
I get 1 point for guessing in three and 0 for tying El Wordle Bot. 1 point! Huzzah!
How To Play Competitive Wordle
Guessing in 1 is worth 3 points; guessing in 2 is worth 2 points; guessing in 3 is worth 1 point; guessing in 4 is worth 0 points; guessing in 5 is -1 points; guessing in 6 is -2 points and missing the Wordle is -3 points.
If you beat your opponent you get 1 point. If you tie, you get 0 points. And if you lose to your opponent, you get -1 point. Add it up to get your score. Keep a daily running score or just play for a new score each day.
Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word “voilà” comes from French, where it serves as a form of the verb “voir” (to see) combined with “là” (there). It translates literally to “see there” in English. In its usage, it is often employed to present or introduce something or to express satisfaction at a newly completed task or revealed item. The term has been adopted into English and other languages to convey a similar sense of presentation or revelation, maintaining its original French spelling and pronunciation.
