How To Play Wordle
Wordle is a daily word puzzle game where your goal is to guess a hidden five-letter word in six tries or fewer. After each guess, the game gives feedback to help you get closer to the answer:
- Green: The letter is in the word and in the correct spot.
- Yellow: The letter is in the word, but in the wrong spot.
- Gray: The letter is not in the word at all.
Use these clues to narrow down your guesses. Every day brings a new word, and everyone around the world is trying to solve the same puzzle. Some Wordlers also play Competitive Wordle against friends, family, the Wordle Bot or even against me, your humble narrator. See rules for Competitive Wordle toward the end of this post.

The Answer:
Wordle Bot Analysis
Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordle score with Wordle Bot right here.
STALE wasn’t a great guess, and no better than the Wordle Bot’s SLATE. 202 words remained and I just had a feeling deep in my gut that the yellow A belonged in the first box. Turns out, it belonged in two boxes, but ADORN was the perfect second guess, leaving me with just one: AVIAN for the win!
Competitive Wordle Score
A rare win for me this month. I get 1 point for guessing in 3 and another for beating the Bot. The Bot gets 0 for guessing in four and -1 for losing to me, just slightly narrowing our July totals:
Erik: 2 points
Wordle Bot: 11 points
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.
- Fridays are 2XP, meaning you double your points—positive or negative.
- You can keep a running tally or just play day-by-day. Enjoy!
Today’s Wordle Etymology
“Avian” comes from Latin avis, meaning “bird.” It entered English in the 19th century as a scientific adjective meaning “relating to birds.”
