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 was so close to guessing in three today, but my coin toss went poorly.
I began the guessing game with SCARY—based on today’s Strands puzzle—and unfortunately, that did not go so well. I had one yellow box and 303 words remaining to choose from.
WAIVE slashed that number down to just two, but I guessed VAGUE instead of VALUE and ended up getting today’s Wordle in four. Bummer!
Competitive Wordle Score
I get 0 points for guessing in four and -1 point for losing to the Bot, who guessed in just three. :/
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 “value” traces its origins back to Latin. It comes from the Latin noun “valere,” which means “to be strong, be worth.” Over time, it evolved into the Old French word “valoir,” which also meant “to be worth.” Eventually, it entered English in the 14th century with the meaning of “worth, merit, or importance.” Since then, its usage has broadened to encompass various meanings related to worth, importance, and significance in different contexts, such as economics, ethics, and philosophy.
