Wordle Analysis
Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
CRATE was a pretty excellent opening guess today, but unfortunately I didn’t really capitalize on my success. SPOIL only slashed my 25 remaining words to 9, and all those grey boxes did little to help. For a moment, I had a surge of delight when I saw GREEN turn up green after green box, but it was a deception: The Wordle was GREED in the end. GREED is good, at least according to Gordon Gekko.

Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word “greed” comes from the Old English “grǣdig”, meaning voracious or covetous. This, in turn, stems from the Proto-Germanic “grēdīgaz”, which relates to hunger or desire. The root can be traced back to the Proto-Indo-European “gʰrē-“, meaning to grow or desire fervently. The modern sense of excessive desire, especially for wealth or possessions, developed in Middle English and solidified in the 16th–17th centuries.
