Wordle Analysis
Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
PLATE wasn’t very lucky as far as first guesses go, leaving me with 334 possible solutions and just one yellow box. I tried all new letters with COINS, which slashed that number to a still unhelpful 11 and gave me a green ‘C’. From here, I tried CHEER but to no avail. Two words remained. Fortunately, I guessed correctly. CHECK for the win!
Competitive Wordle Score
A total wash today. 4 gets me zero points as does tying the Bot. Big fat zero!

Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word “check” originates from the Persian word shāh (شاه), meaning “king,” which entered medieval Latin as scaccus through Arabic (shāh māt, “the king is dead” – the origin of “checkmate” in chess). It then passed into Old French as eschec, meaning “chess, a check, or a stop,” before entering Middle English as “check.” Over time, it expanded in meaning to include verification, control, and halting actions.
The use of “check” as a written payment order comes from the same Old French eschec (derived from chess), meaning “a check, a stop, or a control.” The financial sense developed in the 18th century from the idea of a document that acts as a control or verification on funds. It is related to the use of “check” in accounting, where balances are examined or “checked” for accuracy.
