Looking for Sunday’s Wordle hints, clues and answer? You can find them here:
I don’t care if Monday’s blue, Tuesday’s grey and Wednesday, too. Thursday I don’t care about you, it’s Friday I’m in love.
But we’ll have to make do with a blue Monday. Or, rather, blue sky Monday. It’s sunny and cloudless here in the mountains, though it’s been quite windy as well. Good sailing weather, if only we had somewhere to sail. I suppose hang-gliding is an option, though my fear of heights will never let me attempt such madness. Ziplining was about the extent of it for me, and that was scary enough (though I will never forget ziplining a kilometer over Costa Rica jungle, over a waterfall—pretty amazing!)
In any case, today’s Wordle awaits, so let’s dive right in!
How To Solve Today’s Wordle

Wordle Analysis
Every day I check Wordle Bot to see how I did. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
Like yesterday, I got my opening guess for today’s Wordle from today’s Strands puzzle. It wasn’t a great opening word unfortunately, but it could have been worse. TRIAL left me with 146 remaining words according to Wordle Bot. BIOME took that down to just 6, with two yellow boxes.
From here, I just guessed one of the handful of words I came up with. None seemed particularly better than the other. And SHEIK seemed just crazy enough it might work. Alas, EQUIP was the Wordle.
Competitive Wordle Score
I get zero points for guessing in four and -1 for losing to the Bot, who guessed in just three. C’est la vie!
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 “equip” traces its roots back to the French word “équiper,” which initially appeared around the early 16th century. The French term is likely derived from Old Norse “skipa,” which means “to arrange, to place in order,” and is also related to “skip,” meaning “ship.” The Old Norse influence reflects the historical Viking presence in France, particularly in Normandy.
In English, “equip” began to be used in the late 16th century, originally in the sense of supplying what is necessary for military purposes, such as arming or outfitting a ship or troop. Over time, the usage of “equip” broadened to include the general provisioning of necessary items or preparations for any purpose. The concept inherently involves preparing, fitting out, or furnishing with whatever is necessary for some task or activity.
