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 didn’t realize my first guess left me with just eight remaining words. That’s quite a good start for such a lackluster finish. Oh well! With three yellow boxes, I tried all new letters for my second guess. In hindsight, this was probably not the best idea. I was left with just two words that I could think of: PALSY and LASSO. I chose poorly. The Wordle was LASSO, as in Ted Lasso, the Apple TV series that was just renewed for a fourth season.
Competitive Wordle Score
A total wash. Both myself and the Wordle Bot get 0 for guessing in four and 0 for tying, leaving our totals at . . . .
My March Running Total: 18 points.
Wordle Bot’s Running Total: 4 points.

Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word “lasso” comes from the Spanish word lazo, meaning “a noose or snare,” which in turn derives from the Latin laqueus, meaning “noose” or “snare.” The term was adopted into English in the early 19th century, especially in the context of cattle herding in the American West.
