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 got extremely lucky with my opening guess, CLONE, which left me with just three words to choose from. I came up with ANGLE, ANKLE and LUNGE and since both ‘A’ and ‘G’ were in ANGLE, and just one of each of those letters in the other two words, I picked ANGLE. Sure enough, that was the Wordle! Huzzah!
Competitive Wordle Score
I get 2 points for guessing in two and 1 point for beating the Bot. The Bot gets 1 point for guessing in three and -1 point for losing to me. That puts us at . . .
My March Running Total: 23 points.
Wordle Bot’s Running Total: 7 points.

Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word “angle” comes from the Latin word “angulus,” meaning “corner” or “bend.” This, in turn, is derived from the Proto-Indo-European root *ang-, meaning “to bend” or “crooked.” The term originally referred to a corner or a space between two lines or surfaces, which evolved into its geometric meaning.
